[caret-users] Communicating with AFNI

[Donna Dierker]

Hi Rishi,

I was out Friday.

While Caret has added volume visualization and other features, SUMA has 
added another surface-volume interaction stream for AFNI's users.  The 
combination of these trends has led to the declining relevance of the 
AFNI communication feature.
