batching it for several people makes it more efficient and you get to meet other members.

  *Tell someone if something breaks or isn't working the way you'd expect - *A                                                                                                                                                    

* Tell someone if something breaks or isn't working the way you'd expect: A big time suck at the space is fixing broken things. No worries, breaking things happens to everyone, but it is super useful if what you were doing and how the thing broke is communicated to someone that can help out or the google groups, even if you are the one to fix it, or it gets fixed on the spot. The more detail about how something breaks (or doesn't work quite right) the better; it helps us figure out why it broke, how to repair it, weak points in the device or auth, and avoids someone getting hurt or breaking things further.
