There was no written blueprint, yet at the end of the day there would be a solid, usable Initial hospital configuration terminal sessionstructure in place. The unedited discussions quoted here give a taste of the skill and wackiness of such a gathering.

In this case however, the ultimate goal is not just a new VistA instance, but also a blueprint for how to do it.
