Oh, and by the way, there's an infinite amount of room available in the wiki for other things such as proposals, ideas, arguments, implementation approaches, and so on. So if you're looking for a place where you can write things out and edit them later, the wiki is great place to do that. (You can of course also write your own blog post if you want, and we can link to it from the wiki as well).
I took a break to write a blogging platform from scratch that includes my own custom markdown.
I even posted my first arc topic here: http://blackstag.com/blog.posting?id=2. I then quickly discovered the auto spam bots are moving from the arc forum to my blog site every night. So I took another break, lol, just to put some spam management code in. I'm glad had read enough of pg's code to implement some good techniques similar to news.arc.
Now I'm ready to do more blogging - I hope. I've accumulated a list of 9 or 10 posts and I plan to get some arc stuff in there as well.
