4.14 post steps and 4.16 kickoff

[Simon Steinbeiss]

Hi Rich,

sorry for the late reply, I was sort of overwhelmed with other tasks first
and then forgot about your message.
I would suggest you just email me those screenshots privately and I can add
them to the website. We don't have a proper contribution mechanism there.

Cheers
Simon
