A couple of comments ...

1. Wow! To see a video of this working end to end is really really
exciting. Great work all. Awesome to see folks from across the company
able to align everything like this.
2. These issues that Mathew raises here seem very important. It would be
a real shame if the system was hard to use because it was hard for us to
follow through on the UI. Should we be tracking these issues in bugs?

Seriously, I am thrilled to see this video. Thanks mpt!

Cheers, Rick
