Dear Vaclav,

You are right, Yade is functional and will most probably be used more
and more. Many do/will benefit from what you've done. Thank you very much.
It's been a very instructing experience to see the evolution of Yade in
the last years, thank you very much for that too.
I'm sure it will be very usefull if you can advise or explain some
technical aspects from time to time. I know it can be a time-consuming
activity, however.
I wish you good luck for the next project.

I have the impression that, you being retired + the current state of
functionality, most developments will focus on physics more than core
development.
Some of your last developments are still largely unknown to me (namely
the L3Geom series), how far are they validated and functional?

Ciao.

Bruno
