First, let me say that our group WiPs have been instrumental in providing lots of food for thought. I applaud our group’s efforts and look forward to next week.
Second, my goal for this weekend is to put together 3 skeleton websites:

Kent made a really good suggestion that we should, as a camp, build an asset map of the tools and ideas and resources that we’re talking about. I thought it might make sense to make a digital one that we could work from and share with each other.  Here it is.  (Help me make it [...]
