Hi Anton,

Hendrik will have to confirm about the state of the STAR UE analysis. As
the informal name and the note that the data is preliminary indicate,
it's not an analysis that we're currently able to release because it
contains STAR prelim data. I'd love to see that analysis finished so
that we can use it.

As for the discrepancy in number of analyses, I'm pretty sure that that
is due to the Genser installation (correctly) not containing the
unvalidated analyses plugin library. I want our next release to make an
effort to move as many as possible of these almost-complete analyses out
of "unvalidated" and into the main analysis collection. If you guys can
help with that, it would be fantastic! If there are analyses which *are*
validated but are accidentally in the "unvalidated" plugin library, then
that's a bug and we should fix it :)

Thanks for all the reports: it's very helpful and helps us improve the
software quality... and when the fixes go in, that knowledge is
preserved forever!

Andy
