Now, I think the principle of using the wiki as the basis of organization (first come, first served) cant be changed. What can be done however is more active hosts. As soon as someone starts to use slides, powerpoints and begins a sales pitch, the host should stop the demoer. also the hosts should engage more the crowd. Hi gary,
