Hi Jeremy, I'm very sorry with how slow the turn around has been recently.
I've been at a very low capacity to manage the project after being ill, and I'm sorry that we haven't gotten back to you yet. I also don't feel like I can indicate turnaround time right now due to having some of the librarians leave recently.
We will certainly aim to answer all submitted questions but I expect that I will close the form this/next week, at least until I work out a more sustainable model.
Sorry to hear about your illness. I hope you feel better! It was very helpful the one time I used it, so I hope you guys can find a way to keep it going. Thanks!
