The e-mail wasn't meant to be the text for participants. I've spent all afternoon writing a text at the 33C3 wiki[1], but only part of it is meant to be read by everyone, or essentially, everyone who wants to know more than the most basic. It's 1764 words. I've tried to restrict it to the important things, and I feel that cutting it further down would lose important information. I don't think it's necessary for everyone to read the whole section, though. My e-mail was 1424 words though, so I am afraid I ended up in your wishful thinking area. The remaining 1607 words are in the sections "Background" and "Option for advanced users", and those words happen to include the name Lachlan.

This might save some "I don't know > how your form works, I have the prearranged one" on the day. I really like this suggestion! I had to think about it for a while before I could see a way to make it work. The trouble is that I want caff to be able to process the file, and for that I need to keep it having much of the same patterns. I ended up not significantly altering the two files compared to what I proposed, but instead suggesting everybody should use the scrubbed version. That way, the instructions are the same for all participants. Thank you, Peter.
