Colleagues,

There was a lot of noise, discussion, about EFF over the time it was 
under development and first started being used, and it seems to me that 
with such a a large effort we should find out how people are using it, 
what works and what doesn't work.  No time to be bashful.  If EFF is a 
good tool, then people should know about it so it can be used by more 
people, cities, states, etc.  And if some pieces don't work so well 
than we should know about that, too.  On paper, EFF is cumbersome, 
can't deny that, so having people describe how they use it is a good 
idea, pedagogically.

Andrea
