I really think we should contribute to this as p2p collectives and
individuals ...

I really think that Amaia has found the right formula with her storify's,
which we can easily embed in our blog, and Naomi Klein has already retweeted
amaia's story ...

what I propose is the following, i.e. that each of you used storify to keep
track of developments in your own area,

then we need one extra volunteer to do this on the 'global level',

an alternative is to use a specific tag for this and I could do a weekly
roundup of this global tag ... say Global-P2P-Revolution ??

we can also use Peer Labour at Ning to discuss and spread the word?
