Adrien,

Cool to hear that you've sort of resurrected Saffire.  I am a current
UMD student, though that work was done prior to my being here, though
with my advisor.  I'm not sure what the state of things is with it, I
found it to be really interesting work, and if you want, perhaps it
would be good for us to resurrect the UMD web page?
