Heya,
Can we get details of nice things and messy things or is it all what
piratepad contains?
Yeah, the piratepad was basically the notes for the session. I believe
we put all the things we noticed in there. If any of the notes is hard
to understand ("you had to be there" :>) ask and one of us will explain,
if we can remember.

will that be open for every one use?
That was basically the idea. I don't know if we'd set it up for open
registration or just do manual account creations for anyone on test@ who
wanted to play with it, but yeah, the idea was to let all of us mess
around with an instance.

I tried to set it up on one of my F20 VM, but flunked,
troubleshooting
yet.
What did you have trouble with? IIRC the instructions are wrong at one
point, about where you create the virtualenv - you should do it in the
*top level* moztrap dir, i.e. do 'git checkout' and then 'virtualenv
moztrap', not cd into moztrap before doing the virtualenv. I went back
and forth on that one for a bit. But that's from memory, I might
possibly be wrong.
