Hi Jun,

Hope you are well. Looking forward to seeing you end of this week at  
the Nescent working group.

We are very eager to get the ranker program working. We think there  
is very little left to do, but we need some help with it. I asked  
Karl to outline exactly what needs to be done: I have forwarded his  
message, below. Please advise, how shall we proceed?

Thanks,
Susan
