the specs that were created)
We were 9 of us, of which 5 were students.
Ananth

Except for Ananth and Myself who had some familiarity with the tool,
everybody else were first timers.
It was fantastic - be it the initial unexpected hiccups with
networking issues, setting up the environment or getting the first
spec file and each one of us earning our lunches !
Thanks to Laca for being online till 3am(his time) ! and also to
tomww(IRC name) for coming online !
