Ask HN: How did the YC Fellowships worked for anyone involved?

The YC Fellowships[1] was a very intriguing initiative to engage a new set of people within YC. Smaller funding, allowing remote people to participate, shorter time frame, etc (see the discussion at the time of its announcement[2]). It is supposed to have run from mid-September to mid-November, and as someone who was interested applying (just couldn't, because of personal reasons), I wonder how this first round worked out? I haven't seen any info or opinion published about it yet, either on YC's or on the participants' side, and I'm sure there's a lot to learn! Cheers!
