Acknowledgements
Thanks to all those who attended the MirandaMod on 24th February 2015 and, in particular, to those who prepared presentations to stimulate thinking. As with any exploration of this nature, it is inevitable that some valuable comments will have been omitted, and the emphasis may not reflect the particular interests of each individual. Apologies in advance for any omissions or inaccuracies.
