I think I see where you are going with this, Koen...
How can we coordinate our efforts to make them more effective? Who can we enlist to fill in the gaps? Which aspects could be done better or with better expertise?
I think this is a good way to think about it.
But to do that effectively, we need to know what people have actually done so far and not everyone (including me) is able to share their discoveries right away (I have years of research to write up) and I'm guessing there are some who don't want to reveal what they have discovered until they can confirm it (can I make a guess that René, as one example, is probably working on research threads that take time to confirm?).
Where we really need help is in the codicology. The radiocarbon dating was immensely helpful not only in legitimizing the VMS but in helping us narrow our search window. I wonder if there are more things similar to that that throw out a broad net that helps us narrow our focus so our searches are more effective.
