3LSZVJA9Sun, Jan 6, 2008 Let´s make an open source declaration of intentions.
Be aware that this could actually turn into a rich experiment,
or just a sterile waste of time.
We don´t need to make everything from scratch, but we certainly have to distinguish our true intentions.
To think we are special and deny millenniums of human experience, thinking that we really live in an "unprecedented time" doesn't make us any better than a crazed electronic-church preacher with a new product to sale.
I here call whoever sees an actual beginning of a good, real opportunity to try and do something valuable with this fresh institution, to fill this space with useful pieces of written text that might become, someday, who knows, a useful reference and not just a nostalgic souvenir.
Random-regurgitation, can still be done in the main "recent posts" page.
