It would also be silly to just sit in a room, working on bugs. Attendees can do that without meeting each-other face-to-face. If folks get together, I think they should talk about the Big Picture. They just should not make any final decisions. I agree that Adrian's couple of years of "fiddling with stuff" should be included via conferencing and/or some kind of summary document. The latter would be very useful at any rate, but I doubt Adrian has time to prepare a nice summary. Cheers, Alex.
