I guess im not doing a good job explaining myself. Im not really talking
about idiot-proofness. More along the lines of some newbie out there
wants to install some number of spells and following the instructions
types cast <list>, then proceeds to let all the defaults go by (or
something). There arent many real problems with sorcery at this point,
at least very few that a tinderbox the way I think we are envisioning
it can catch. What I think we are after is making sure spells install
properly under different conditions, which we as developers cant always
catch since we dont have the time to test our spells manually on n
different setups.

Anyone else interested? How about that irc design meeting?
