[bestbits] [call for feedback] visual timeline on IG processes

[Anriette Esterhuysen]

Hi all.. I gave a bit of feedback on an early draft of this and would
like to give more.. but just don't have time right now.

I do find it very useful.. so thank you very much to Joana, Lea and
Deborah for your work on this.

What is the cut off point for comments?
