Introduction
Hi folks
In this issue, there's an interesting discussion about Perch 4 and its proposed licensing model on the forum. I'd encourage everyone to read and contribute. Of course, Perch 4 licensing is not a simple or easy decision and the Perch team will decide how they want to progress this. But, by contributing to the discussion, you will let them know what you think.
Also in this issue, there are some great site examples with some lovely work. Well worth a look.
This is the last Perchology Newsletter of 2019. There have been 15 issues this year and I've enjoyed curating them. See you in 2020!
I hope the holiday season is a good one for everyone.
