dingsi: FONSFAQ Projects Masterlist

FONSFAQ stands for "Frequently (Or Not So Frequently) Asked Questions" (about a particular topic). Someone hosts a topic, preferably one per entry, and then in comments people can ask - i.e. leave prompts - or claim some issue relating to the topic that they have always wanted to explain/write about. The host then collects the links to all essays that people have written in reply to the prompts and everybody has a lot to read and learn!

I would kind of like to do a FONSFAQ but I don't know what I'd be enough of an expert in. :\ Maybe New Orleans?

dw_nifty: Your own domain as an OpenID in two lines*

I just set up OpenID at my woefully out-of-date but pithier URL of http://metawidget.net. Like my e-mail over there, the idea is to future-proof my online identity: I more or less own my own domain, whereas it is possible that Dreamwidth, myOpenID, Livejournal or whoever else will do something I don't like (or just be reduced to a smoking crater by a DDoS or an antitrust lawsuit or something). Through the miracle of OpenID delegation, if I get sick of whatever site is doing the OpenID listing, I just fire them, change these two lines, and keep my OpenID. Also, it might motivate me to clean up my site, archive some stuff, and all that.

if you do new orleans i'll help answer questions. do FONSFAQ have a team category?

[sofiaviolet]

I don't think there's a team category, but several of the other FONSFAQs are allowing multiple people to answer prompts.

Edit: Now soliciting questions, in my typical wordy, laissez-faire manner. Let me know if anything in that post is an issue.
