Of course, Mac users can use Rendezvous and Hydra to really get weird!

We can use whatever name you want :-)

As I said, I don't know the agenda. In an "ideal" world, 1 or 2 days on
this would have been perfect. I'm of the opinion that if we spent a week
"tiger teaming" it would all be done and dusted (or we'd be screaming at
each other!).
I also never said that it had to be done without beer and pizza (or
whatever Malcolm's equivalent is) - since they seem to be required [the
Hilo version requires regular deliveries of quad mochas from Starbucks!].
In principal this could be done back at the hotel over a wireless network
in the evenings so long as someone rsynced the cvs repository onto a
laptop. :-)
