This will ensure that any design oversights are addressed and that the input files stay current with model updates. +The IEA Wind Task 37 authors endeavor to keep the model input decks current with the latest releases and API changes. Errors and other issues pointed out by the community are also addressed to the extent that available resources make that possible. See the [Release Notes](blob/master/ReleaseNotes.md) for a detailed description of changes. We also encourage the broader wind community to submit design updates either through Pull Requests or by reaching out to the authors.
