Yes - great line up

Like the way it all built up without too much overlap n stuff. Kewl venue too. Thanks one and all (Update: we were talking about the http://drupal.org/project/file_import module, for bulk node creation from e.g. images uploaded via FTP - that includes file renaming and directory migration. It really is quite handy)
