What exactly are you asking for? I certainly support your work. Jack has expressed the same, and I expect that everyone else feels the same way.

I think Jack's advice about blogging is very good. There are a number of free hosting services, and there are folks in the community (including me) who would be happy to help you get started. Also, many of Doug's ideas are starting to creep into those tools. For example, purple number plugins exist for MovableType, blosxom, and WordPress, all of which are popular blogging tools. Using these preexisting tools would enable you to focus entirely on content, which is where I think your work is most valuable.
..
Is there something more you're looking for?

Sincerely,



Eugene Eric Kim
