Re: [Palindrome] Wrap-up Follow-up



Well, since our solving team always has a specific palindromic name, perhaps the constructing team could have one as well. I propose "We won now? Ew!"

I can set up a mailing list and wiki this week once my domain name
transfer is complete, which should be in a day or two.

One metaphysical issue with the mailing list: if we're splitting
up into constructors and solvers, and the solvers are getting
custody of the palindrome list, who do we (the construction team)
become? Are we still Palindrome? If so, why wouldn't we keep the
mailing list?

I'm sorry we missed some of you at yesterday's wrap-up meeting.
The  Bombers printed special certificates (like those received
for each  meta) for each member of the team. If I didn't get one
to you in  person yesterday, please e-mail me a mailing address
and I'll send it off to you. If you know Aaron, he probably
picked up one for you, so  check with him first.

Second, and relatedly, there are members of the team who joined
late  enough that they haven't been added to this mailing list.
I know who  a couple of them are, but if you know a team member
who isn't getting these team messages, please have them contact
me. One, in particular, that I'd appreciate contact information
for is Sebastian. He joined  the team in Lobby 7, and by that
point things like team mailings were totally shoved aside in my
head. But now, of course, I can't contact  him and, in fact,
don't even know his last name. If any of our other  student
members have his info, I'd appreciate it.

Third, there are a couple of things we need to do to move
forward  with constructing next year's Hunt. As has been
mentioned, we'll need to set up a new mailing list and wiki.
Also, I'm going to attempt to  discuss a post-Hunt survey with
the Bombers, so we can get other  teams' opinions of what worked
and didn't about this year. I'd like  to see these things taken
care of by the end of the week so people  will have a forum to
start discussing themes and structures.

And we'll need a leader. I'm happy to coordinate some of this
initial stuff for now, but I don't think I'm the best person to
manage this  process. So, for now, I'm looking for volunteers
(not nominees) to be the person in charge of leading the
construction process. We'll  eventually need to delegate some of
the work to other individuals,  and I'm led to understand that
certain management tasks will need to  be undertaken by a
current (or at least very recent) MIT student, but I think (and
those who have done this in the past should correct me  if I'm
wrong) that the process will be better served by one person at
the top.

I feel that I have only a rudimentary smattering
of information, and most of it's wasted on words
like "rudimentary" and "smattering."
