Thank you so much Peter! I accepted most of your editorial changes and left some comments for everybody to see.
What about the rest of the team, do you think you will be able to review the draft by the end of January?  

I propose a meeting on Wed Feb 5 at 12:00 UTC to discuss progress and figures. 

Please let me know if you agree with the plan or if you need more time.

Hope you all started a great 2025!!!

Best,
Yani

Hi Yani and team,

 

Sorry I have been offline for a long time. I took a large block of leave and have been travelling. I am back now for a while and am still picking up threads that I left loose before I finished.

I’ve added some comments and suggested edits to the draft manuscript. It is looking very good though, congratulation all.

 

Anyway, have a great Christmas and new year break and see you in a few weeks.

 

Cheers,

 

Peter

Subject: Humboldt Extension manuscript reloaded

 

Dear Humboldties!

 

It's been a few weeks of silence as I've been integrating all your contributions to the manuscript. Knowing all of you, it is not surprising to have received so many good and productive comments and contributions on this, I appreciate you finding the time for this despite your busy schedule. I really like working so collaboratively with you!

 

As a token of appreciation, my Christmas present for you is an updated, considerably improved version of the manuscript. You can find it here. Discussion and figures still need a lot of work (probably other parts as well), but at least we have a first complete draft of the manuscript.

 

Special requests:

- is anybody interested in taking a creative take on Figure 1? I would be happy to discuss my ideas which I was not able to communicate with current figure proposals

- I would appreciate any general comment regarding the current structure of sections and content, in particular regarding how to handle the case studies. The manuscript is already quite long...

- editorial skills are needed, please edit freely!

- big-picture thinkers are also needed, take a stab!

 

I was hoping to have your feedback by the last week of January, do you think this is doable? If yes, I will organize a meeting in the first week of February to discuss your feedback and start making decisions regarding journals. 

 

I hope you have a great start of the new year, all the best in 2025!

 

Cheers,

 

Yani
