That's good to know; I have filed a separate ticket on our issue
tracking system for the P250 data:

https://trac.openmicroscopy.org.uk/ome/ticket/11303

You have been CC'd on that ticket and so will receive automated updates
of any changes; if you prefer not to receive updates, please let me
know.

We do not have a bounty program, but new format development can be
sponsored through Glencoe Software:

(In the interests of full disclosure, I do work for Glencoe Software.)

Thank you for uploading example datasets.  The above ticket will be updated
as we make progress towards supporting them.
