Sean clearly has insight and experience in this area, now both
academic and industrial, but after witnessing him at affiliates I
wonder if this would be a clear win. he was very dominating in the
q&a and discussion periods, and it makes me wonder if he would
likewise be overly dominating at the retreat.

just today I got mail saying that the lab mount maps have been
updated, so on lab machines you should be able to access the
"networking" project file system as /projects/networking, and the web
directory as /projects/networking/www (this gets mapped into the web
name space as www.cs.washington.edu/research/networking). both
directories have syn group write permission, so if you need project
space (e.g. create a detour subdirectory) or want to add to the web
have at it.
