how man other developers not on this list vetted it? i wasn't around for the 
last couple months, so this is a serious question ;-)

and.... how would i find it were i to hear about it on IRC? e.g. a URL?

i ask simply because these are the questions i expect to get asked ;-)

... and what guidelines the individual panels follow. that affects how the 
"where things go" works out.

the presentation, in my mind, also includes not just looks but interaction: 
search, help, navigation (which has to scale up and out) ....

anything to add to the above quick snips?

noted =) 

and hopefully we'll be able to get to more than just docs. any code in 
particular you'd like to have discussed / picked over? any points in your doc 
that you see as particularly salient / finished? embryonic and in need of 
fleshing out?
