Great, thanks all for taking care of this.

One more thought: last year, when we announced the "Build it" events, we
emphasized that the events were useful for newcomers and lurkers. I might
reply-all to your wikitech-l post emphasizing that. I think that being
clear about that helps people come out of the woodwork.
