Saying it was a success seems like misinformation. We didn't have it yet,
so it seems unfair to assert it was a success. Don't jinx it :)
"The first darcs hacking sprint, 25-26 October 2008, is expected to be a
great success."
These practices should help us to continue making steady progress. We

Wow. That's a lot of pressure. Darcs is good, but the pride and joy?
Hmm...How about something that is still positive and inviting but without
the pride and joy part :)
"These practices should help us continue to steadily improve darcs, and we
are always open to contributions, Haskell hackers, we need your help!"
