[liberationtech] Ideas to Improve Stanford Liberationtech

[Yosem Companys]

Hi All,

Thanks to Rich's message about the benefits of open-source mailing lists,
it looks as though we will keep the mailing list as is, except that we will
send a daily digest from Twitter in case anyone wants to discuss the news
items for that day (rather than create a dedicated news list).

The only other ideas proposed in this thread are below. They look good.
Anyone have any feelings pro or con Bram's proposal? Any concerns? If not,
anyone want to help make them a reality?

We are understaffed as some of our grants have run out, so we would be very
grateful t anyone who wants to volunteer to help make these new projects
happen.

Thanks,
Yosem
