	**There are multiple grammar errors. Fortunately they are rather small, mostly regarding singular and plural forms, however although small they are still striking for the reader. This should be easily amendable with a grammar check in Word or google docs. '''Thank you for the advice. I did it and corrected my mistakes.'''		**There are multiple grammar errors.

	**The structure of the language is at times informal. There are sentences which can be misinterpreted at first e.g. ''The system insures low health services prices for all the citizens.'' while others like ''For example, a network mapping of the company can enable the directors to be aware of informal links between employees from different department and this can be a good starting point to involve this employees in a cross functional project concerning this departments.'' should be divided in two for better understanding.		**The structure of the language is at times informal.

	*The article falls under the case study write-up category. It's not just 100% informative though as after the introduction the author covers the possible solutions to the existing problem. It seems like an evaluation made by the author however it might as well be a description of the feedback from an advisor company. '''I don't really get this comment. Do you mean the work I did could have been also done by a consultancy company?'''		*The article falls under the case study write-up category.

	*References. There are five hard references given, however they regard only the tools and concepts described not the actual content. Course 42490 TEMO is referred to yet nothing more than that. This is something that should be addressed because statements such as: "most of them [functional managers] have no skills and experience in project management." should be backed up by some data/references, else they simply become strong opinions. Moreover there is a reference to a software package 'Gephi', it could be nice to have a link to the owner. '''The reference of TEMO course was a reminder but it was not relevant in the final version. Thanks for notice. Regarding the data, I added a note at the very beginning (before the abstract) to explain where this data is from. In fact, I have discussed ~~2 times through Skype~~ with one of the directors of the local site of Perpignan ~~because they is~~ looking for a student to solve this issue during his/her master thesis. The Gephi website has been added as a reference.'''		*References. There are five hard references given, however they regard only the tools and concepts described not the actual content.

	*Graphics used are relevant and clear. The 'Stage gate model' is borrowed from an article, it has a reference embedded in the graphic however it's also possible to add references to a figure in wiki. Same regards the 'Gephi network visualization'.		*Graphics used are relevant and clear.

	*Regarding the abstract, perhaps it doesn't need a heading and since the APPPM wiki is supposed to be developed over the coming years the phrase "Two years ago" should be put in absolute terms. '''Good reflection for the "Two years ago", I would never find it out by myself.'''		*Regarding the abstract, perhaps it doesn't need a heading and since the APPPM wiki is supposed to be developed over the coming years the phrase "Two years ago" should be put in absolute terms.
