We're back from Steampunk November this weekend, and if you missed it, that's a shame. We talk about the high points, site improvements, and what we'd like to see next year. And not of deaf ears, because the admins of SP Nov are listening. If you were at the event, make some comments. I'd love to hear your opinions!
