And I think if we're really going to do this, it's important to show people as much of the process as possible, so what we've decided to do is put the draft of the script online for your reading pleasure. That way, people can see how it changes over time and offer suggestions, because I'm sure we're not thinking of everything. The first version is up now. The 2nd version too.
Thoughts? Put them in the comments. But remember that AYWR doesn't publish anonymous comments, so keep that in mind.
