[edit] Should there be a domain name for the UUA?
- yes because it's easy and practical
- no because it means we're part of the ICANN system and that's fucked

- no, we should buy a domain, but take note of the fact that we've had this discussion, and still encourage everyone to have their own uua.whatever.whatever.
[edit] Stories can be extended
- illustration stories to hang your learning on should be extended into proper narratives
