> A few quick accomplishments
> * Packaging of at least 5 dependencies
> * Update to a dependency to make it Java 1.6 compatible and src packageable
> * Conversion from a non-free JSON library to an apache license library
> * Removal of some unneeded java libraries
> * Discussion on communities and their upkeep
> * Talk of future applications of Etherpad (embeddable, engine for other
> purposes)
> * Knowledge sharing on git, packaging, and the Operational Transformation
> algorithm
> * More (lemme know what I've forgotten as I'd like to write it all up)
> Next steps are to get the application itself packaged and figure out a
> random build hurdle in c3p0. Take a break from Etherpad, though, y'all

> Safe travels to you all and we'll be in touch,

Just to reiterate: this was a great FAD and I'm really happy with the
results we achieved. Thank you everybody involved, especially Colin,
who's been running so much to make this awesome! :)
