16th May 2013: Leave a comment!
PASA, the journal in which the paper describing SPLASH is published, has just switched publishers to Cambridge University Press. The cool thing about this is that there is now the ability to comment on articles that are, or were, published in PASA. Thus, to encourage the use of this rather experimental feature in Astronomy journals, I would like to invite splash users to leave a comment/feedback regarding splash on the splash paper.
