I incorporated your suggestions, thanks!

I remember the author discussion from last time;  the current author
line is last year's with my addition.  From a contributor point of view
I think it would be very motivating to be included in an update talk
like this for major contributions.  That leaves the question of how to
measure major contribution :-)  Stuff that made it into the NEWS file?

Abstract PDF attached, as suggested.

Cheers,

Chris
