Thanks for publishing the email summaries.
This is one of those situations where, contrary to some our perfectionist tendencies (including mine), it's a surprise if everything goes 100% according to plan, and discovering problems through a live-fire exercise is a characteristic of a successful exercise. I'm reminded a bit of some discussions at the Wikimedia Conference and elsewhere where people talk about risks and failures; I think it's nice to be reminded that measured risks and failures are OK in some scenarios. Nothing ventured, nothing gained (or learned!)
