The Focus Areas survey closes on 15th... if you haven't already, please take a moment to complete it.
We've had some great responses so far which will really help us determine our priorities - but it would be great to have more. As well as being interested in additional topics we are also keen to find out how many of our members are working on projects involving some of the topics already identified. Have a look at the lists below - are you also working on any of these? If you are please let us know by completing the survey.
