Yes, I saw that and reacted with glee.  It increases the usefulness of
the site by 100%.  Amy had spoken of this option in December, so maybe
it is a sort of wedding present to her-:)

I don't blame you.  We have a lot of resourceful people on the g3web
team, but we lacked a sufficient system of management, not only with
access, but for back-up when people on the team got busy or went skiing.

Yes, this is important enough that we might want to put GUADEC IV on the
schedule, if Gregorio has an open slot.  We really got behind in
launching the necessary components, both content & the registration
form.  The more we can codify and document, the easier it will be for
future GUADEC teams.

Well, when the specific details of Software Livre meeting and other 
things are know (with the exception of the Ximian party which should
remain private) we can give you that information.
