to please, please advertise the fest on the main AW page somehow. I know it is usually on the comm panel, but I'm thinking some folks don't keep that open.

I've also suggested in the past that Jot give some sort of discount for new patronages during the fest (perhaps also biannually or quarterly).

Also, maybe each GF a new community feature (be it large or small, fancy or simple) could be implemented during the GF run.

Is there any way to advertise GF in printed form in a major publication relating to history or online communities? are there some funds for that?

lastly, not sure if I can say it was the "best" since I feel each GF has its own flavor and style and unique offerings. they're all good and still enjoyable to return to for repeat visits! :)
