Ditto Lee's congrats!

Thrilled and amazed how it all worked out and really looking forward
to see the resulting artworks. It seems that each year the quality
of the proposals gets better and better - truly inspiring.

That being said… it seems to me given all of the confusion that took
place at the start (and some questions about what actually took place
during) that a community post-mortem on this year's process might be a
good idea sooner than later - perhaps while its still fresh in the
minds of those involved but maybe after the shock and delight has
faded.

Thanks, Jason!

I sent out a summary of the list's feedback, concerns and criticisms after
the open vote closed. I did it partly as a gesture towards a
"post-mortem", and also so that Rhizome staff could return to the document
next year when considering how to manage the open voting process.

I can re-send this to prompt any more feedback, or perhaps people can just
share any last thoughts on or offlist.

Thanks.
