Dear Paul,
thanks for your feedback!
There is evidence - a full and detailed report in fact - which not only
shows the general quality of tags from the pilot, but also demonstrates how
we had virtually no abuses (which is all that Richard Morrison from The
Times seems to be concerned about...). Of course the information belongs to
the PCF, but I can ask for consent and publish a few samples and a summary,
if people are interested. The initial pilot was invitation only, but we
didn't invite people in the arts sector or specialists.
Best, Cristiano
