I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

The way we've done impulsive gestures in the past has generally been someone coming up with an idea, then quietly circulating and organizing it backchannel. I kind of prefer that, because we're not handing out anything in an Official Board Capacity; it's just people surprising their friends with cool stuff.

The problem with this is that not everyone finds out about it backchannel. I think I've heard of only one of the impulsive gesture type things beforehand. When I do hear about them after the fact, I wish I would have had a chance to contribute.

I have to agree with this.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Let me split the question.

  • Does b.org want to be listed as the recipient of ad proceeds on the wiki?

  • Governance of that income.

The first bullet is of more interest to me than the second. Actually, I should stay completely out the second.

Thanks for all the fish.

What is the wiki?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I agree with Holli, too. If you want to put ads on your wiki and want to donate them to something b.org related, I think it should go towards server costs (despite what Jesse said, money will run out eventually).

Does anyone else's brain start playing "Jam On It" every time Gus mentions the wiki?

I'm just glad I'm not the only one.
