It's shiny, for sure, but the average spectator didn't care.  The most
effective handouts, actually, were the B&W xeroxed flash cards
highlighting projects people hadn't heard of.  ("I use Wikipedia all
the time, but I had no idea there was a Wiktionary!")  The zines would
have actually been great, if we had only thought of it.

I think everyone will agree that we need to come up with a better
event kit, and at least two of the current proposals on the strategy
wiki refer to that.  I don't think we need to wait for any kind of
formal process to get started on it, though.
