Well, we got most of the Hydra problems dealt with. It still is in beta and I would assume that the creators got some really good feedback from the users here. Hydra really made this conference much better. There were a ton of meetings held simultaneously yet I could follow them by watching the Hydra documents. Note-taking at conferences was not an obvious use for Hydra but its 'emergent' properties really elevated it quickly to a major bit of social software. 5:07:56 PM

Well, we found out what happens on this wireless network when EVERYONE joins a Hydra document at the same time. Everything was going fine until there were about 25 people all joined to the document. Then, we could all see the creator update his notes but anything added by anyone else was lost. Maybe it was the lag time of the network, perhaps it was some problems with ad-hoc networks that keep popping up, or maybe it is just the software. So, we essentially started over with a copied version and, as long as we stayed about 12 or less, we had no problems. Still some social conventions to work out. Lurkers could be a problem. 10:28:52 AM

Another morning but now with Hydra, I can relax a little knowing that others will catch anything I miss. Trevor Smith and Eric Sinclair have taken the major roles of 'creator'. We all look for them to start the ball rolling. 8:39:21 AM
