webring! Someone add that to the wishlist.

You mean [ilided]? CC really ain't much of a social club. People use
the licenses instrumentally and expressively, and both accomplish
much.

The action is in building and deploying software. This list just has a
limited role, and that's fine. There isn't much of a place for

in itself. So yeah, blog posts and hanging out. So long as lots more
people ape Evan and actually build faif stuff that federates.
