welcome student contributor to glmmTMB

[Mollie Brooks]

Dear TMB users,

I’m very happy to announce that we’ll be hosting an undergraduate student collaborator, Divit Purwar, over the summer, via the Google Summer of Code program. Divit will be forking glmmTMB and converting the likelihood code from TMB to RTMB to make it easier for more people to contribute in the future. You will probably see some questions from Divit posted here when it pertains to this group. It would be great if replying to these questions could be a joint community effort and then the questions and answers can benefit other users.

Cheers,

Mollie
