    I was on vacation and so a tad late in responding. This is great news and
    thanks for all the effort in getting this out despite all the emergencies
    you and your family had to deal with recently.

    As a general note to both Mulgara and Topaz community, we have recently
    released a pre-2.0.0 version of Mulgara as part of the 0.9-rc1 release to
    PLoS and from all indications are that it is running fine. We will be
    merging the 'official' 2.0 version of Mulgara as part of the public release
    for 0.9, and that will include Ambra (the publishing system). We still have
    some file name clean up and couple of bugs to be fixed.

    Congratulations again!

    regards

Amit
