Speaking of which, I promised a vision statement for Free Culture House.
(well, Nina and I were going to work on that together).

But I don't have time, and won't have time for the forseeable future.
Better to just admit this now :-).  I can't do much on Free Culture
House because I'm too busy working on Free Culture; my email box is
overflowing, and I can't take on new things that distract me from my
non-profit right now, sorry.  I support the idea of Free Culture House,
obviously, and would be interested in living there someday... but I
won't be able to pull my weight in getting it to happen.
