The website update should have been delegated to a non-participant.  That is a
valid criticism, not of you, but of organization.

Furthermore, there is no official information about hardware.  What is DIEP
running on?  What is Junior running on?  Who knows?

Plus, non-windows users are shut out completely.  A linux user would still not
know how round 4 finished, except through the grape vine.
