Karen / Jessamyn - this thread has drifted a long way from its original topic (and the subject doesn't represent any of the things talked about), so I'm going to spin up a new thread or two to cover the topics being recently discussed. Some of them are probably more appropriate to ol-tech than ol-discuss, although community development priorities is certainly a candidate for this list.
