There's coalition-building behind the scenes and we expect to have many guest post quite soon.

We're not counting on the Web to thrive and grow. It's shrinking and it will likely perish in a decade or two. One site that we link to regularly is shutting down -- part of a trend likely accelerated by economic pressures in recent years. Today's Web is lots of JS/'webapps' with spying and disinformation/spam. It's not what it was 10 or 20 years ago. ⬆
