Here is my own summary of the sprint.  Terry and Kent may have different 
views.

All three of us have difficulties remembering and/or understanding all the 
cool things that Leo can *already* do.  One remedy would be demo videos of 
cool plugins, embeddable within Leo itself.  Newbies would benefit from a 
set of YouTube videos describing how to find text, execute scripts, 
including @button scripts, use the minibuffer, including tab completion, 
and use @file and @auto nodes.  Other videos might describe more advanced 
features.

Terry worked on an a tool that would take a serious of screenshots within 
Leo.  I'll probably just buy a commercial screencasting program.  I'm 
leaning towards Camtasia Studio--it promises high quality with minimal 
fuss.  Given the importance of this project, the cost is entirely 
negligible.

Kent and Terry worked on something that Kent has long wanted: timestamps 
for each nodes.  They were still working on a timestamps plugin when I left 
for home.  This will give Kent something useful to play with without having 
to modify Leo's file format in any way.

To support this work, I fixed some bugs in leoTree.select and its helpers.  
This is difficult code: we joked that the effect of the sprint would be 
that we all would move to vim.  This morning I realized the code should be 
revised again.  I'll push the new code (with a public warning about the 
change) when I test it further.

Saturday morning we watched "git as a NoSQL database":  
https://vimeo.com/44458223 My take-away conclusion is that getting the best 
features of git and DB's is impossible even for those who know much more 
than I.  Kent's time-stamps should give him enough to have him play with 
nodes as key/value pairs.

That's about it, aside for lots of jokes and laughter.  I hope Terry will 
post the goofy pictures of us three sitting around a dining room table 
filled with computers...
