Ok, thanks for the input, guys. I'm going to write this up later today and launch - should have done it weeks ago but we were launching http://ethereum.org which has been a Major Undertaking.
Some really good suggestions, and I hope we'll be able to get people a little more lined up this year. Smoke detectors really are a thing. We have to get that one done, and I do encourage you to deploy in your own units, and tell other people to do the same.
