And an aside: I generally dislike this approach of using our gemlogs to have discussions via "RE: post title" and such-with. Isn't this better suited to the mailing list?

Now, that being said, I *do* think that Shannon is (a) a great name and (b) a pretty good idea -- tho we already have CAPCOM and Spacewalk. But . Why not a third?!
Eventually I'm going to set up the first two on breadpunk.club (or here?) with GUS's known URLs and known feeds lists. Might as well try a Shannon too :)
Stay tuned.
