I agree - the main problem is to come up with a list of 24 good ideas and with the preparation of the images - which takes a lot of time. Since I didn't see your message in October, I thought there would not be interest in another edition. And given the fact that we don't get the server traffic for free anymore and the server needs a major re-installation soon anyway (its OS will be EOL in 2024), I thought it would be best to finally decommission the advent calendar. But if you plan another edition for 2023 and want to take care of the server issues, please count me in for at least two images next year :-) Thomas
