I don't think there's a problem with having short stories. Many bug fixes will be short, for example. -- Kian-Tat Lim, LSST Data Management, [log in to unmask] ######################################################################## Use REPLY-ALL to reply to list To unsubscribe from the QSERV-L list, click the following link: https://listserv.slac.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=QSERV-L&A=1
