Greetings,
I think the end of August is a reasonable time frame to identify the forms
still in use. I have already massaged the files you provided into excel
spreadsheets. I will step up and take the point on this part of the project.
As an aside we have already downloaded all the forms and related pieces to
elixir and will get them ready to worked on by the end of the month as well.
