Masha had a great idea that we all liked, perhaps making a VG "manifesto" that would lay out what our goals are...

For now, just comment generally on whether or not you think that the "Artist / Praxis" split is feasible. I like it a lot, but I...

One major downside Pat pointed out is that in order to see the sub links, you have to click on a tab. I could...

I briefly discussed splash screens and their general purpose in a previous entry. Again, in a real version the words would light up.
