Sounds good, although I suggest we avoid a lot of people doing very complete,
finished design sketches, at least before we've had some discussion of where
we want to go. The reason for this is both that it'll represent a lot of
duplicated work, and also it'll lead to a lot of people's ideas being
discarded, which they might not be happy about.

So at least I suggest we discuss a bit first, and then afterwards try to come
up with bits and pieces of concepts before putting it all together. Remember,
just because one sketch is better than the others, doesn't mean it's ideal,
so the finished result should ideally consist of ideas and concepts from
several early sketches.
