+## Questions and answers
+
+-   Q: This looks great, and was very well-presented.  Do you have plans
+    to upstream this functionality into Emacs?
+    -   A: Would require some refactoring upstream, so not suitable for
+        upstreaming as-is.
+-   Q: Did you use pair-programming while developing it, or did you work
+    independently, alternating and reviewing?
+    -   A: Yes, we did! I was at the keyboard, Valentino was at the
+        whiteboard, and we kept bouncing ideas back and forth, trying
+        out prototypes, coming up with various tests, checking the edge
+        cases, etc.
+-   Q: What is your background in programming? Was it difficult to
+    implement following the same API and architecture as what is already
+    in Emacs?
+    -   A: Both Valentino and I are PhD students in computer science,
+        but a PhD or similar is definitely not a requirement. It wasn\'t
+        too difficult because we could reuse the interactive
+        functionality from query-replace\'s internals. Figuring out what
+        and how to reuse is what took a bit of creativity, but a lot of
+        the necessary knowledge for that came from just reading and
+        poking around Emacs\' replace.el. Don\'t be afraid to go and
+        read the source!
+-   Q: What did you learn about Emacs programming or programming in
+    general while working on this project?
+    -   A: That Emacs is so flexible that you can even advise its
+        \`message\` function. Similarly, being able to prototype
+        functionality so quickly and immediately integrate it into the
+        rest of Emacs is so fun and so satisfying!
+
+## Notes
+
+-   One usecase could be character names in a novel manuscript, if one
+    has named a character and want to now rename it to some other
+    character names or swap it with another one.
+- I never saw so many talks about repls. so great!!!
+- Nice, I was wondering if it utilized `rx`
+- package installed, ready to use!
+- excellent talk, and also such a cool package
+- great talk, very clever concept
+- that SRE "paper" you linked to is interesting
+- just saw the "Parallel Text Replacement" talk - 👏 great talk!
