Hi All,

I have a favor to ask. We are trying to generate funding to hire a person to do quality assurance, and another to generate documentation, but it has been difficult. We are currently writing a grant explicitly for these positions, and one of the requirements of the funding mechanism is to show that there is a community that would benefit from the proposed resource. That said, it would be a huge help if as many people who use freesurfer as possible would send me letters of support indicating how having such people to work on these things would help their research. Even better, if the research is NIH funded and you could indicate tthe grant that would benefit. I'll append my mailing address. I you are interested, send me email, and I'll send you the offical title of the grant when we finalize it.

This will probably be the most boring grant ever written, and I think the only possibility we have for getting it funded is to really document the extensive need for such positions, which I think are absolutely critical as the software has increased in complexity. We know there are bugs in it, it's just a question of putting the effort into finding them :).

thanks, Bruce
