  T-shirts and thanks

We’d like to thank all the people who responded to our recent survey about Wakanda. We’d thank you each individually, but we thought it would be easier to just send out t-shirts to show our appreciation.

Oh, let’s do it anyway! Thank you Alexander, Peter, Tiran, Rob, Bruno, Rui, DF, Milos, Artur, Dave, Paul, Alexei, Jeremy, Jonathan, Keith, Ron, Justin, Andrew, Dan... Ok, that’s enough – we need to save our fingers for coding.  Thank you!!
