Ovy Ortega that’s also a cool idea! This is great, because even if this mythical unicorn of a blog post never reappears, everything in this thread is helpful and interesting!
There was a post recently where someone had problems getting the group together and to cooperate. I wasn’t able to find it earlier though.
