Hi all- Just wanted to let you know that I made a back-up of the etherpad doc sprint here:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Kmenger/ToolLabsSprint (original pad: http://etherpad.wmflabs.org/pad/p/Tool_Labs_Sprint_July_23) I also moved the draft-in-progress to a wiki page in my user space: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Kmenger/ToolLabsGuide Thanks to everyone who contributed!
