Need help to start contributing for Subsurface

[Nikhil Bharadwaj]

Tomaz,

Sorry for the late reply. I could not work the whole of yesterday.

Referring to the work you gave me to add 'time based mean depth', could you
please tell me which file to look at? I am completely lost there (I dont
have much experience in this).

Thank You
Nikhil Bharadwaj
