I did ;-) I'm presenting today at a conference on how we work inside the ASF, and one of my recent additions to this talk is that people have to overcome their "fear of making mistakes in public" to be efficient in our communities. The best learning is by doing, so having those students make mistakes here sooner than later (they don't *have* to make mistakes, you get the idea ;-) would probably be good for them. Also in terms of general community health. And thanks Reinhard for explaining what you're doing. It might be cool to have a web page somewhere to explain the "experiment", but that's your call of course. -Bertrand
