[FM Discuss] Writing a posting for Google blog on recent sprint

[Andy Oram]

I'm glad you endorse the article. I'll see whether Stephanie
at Google is interested. I made your fixes and also found a
couple missing parentheses (funny wording--that makes it sound
like they fell behind the radiator or something) that I
fixed.

and are working on another.
