They also looked at Twitter references to RFCs, although they appear to conclude that there isn't as much going on there. They could also be potential collaborators; I'm not sure if there's a whole lot else they've done here but I think there's at least one follow-on paper from last year.</div><div tabindex="0" class="gs_citr"><br class=""></div><div tabindex="0" class="gs_citr">Cheers,</div><div tabindex="0" class="gs_citr">Nick</div></body></html>
