Can you do that next week, Anthony? I'm going to look over the threads one last time. I may go and grab any downloads I see of DDD Hard, just for my own purposes. My biggest regret while I was working on DDD Hard was that I didn't make use of a Version Control tool throughout the process.
Also, I'm unsure if Vern is still trying to collect movies or anything else. I know in the past when I've done software releases I've been reluctant to quickly trash development/test infrastructure until at least a week or two following a release. It can be educational to go back through some of the posts. Often, little things get missed in the heat of testing/development that you may discover (or re-discover because you forgot all about it). Bugs, feature requests, etc.
Something else I don't really expect to happen, is something called a retrospective. It provides a bit of closure, and may provide information that serves to make the next release more successful. I'd planned to send Vern an email if nothing else, with my thoughts on the overall process as a mini-retrospective. If there were aspects that you thought went really well, or others that were a bit problematic. That information is really useful, especially while it's still fresh in your mind, and the old posts help my memory.
Thanks!
