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 <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1I7RRu6mj7u53-zz6c_8ZIYqLsNMA0o6VwP3fuSTMWcI/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.37xo7oq31j2m>. 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 Yani
