      <br>
      an important announcement, in 3 days, I will provisionally retire
      from the p2p-f mailing list.<br>
      <br>
      Material conditions make it impossible for me to continue
      'curation as usual', as well as efforts in broader community
      building and dialogue. From January to April, I will be working
      intensively on a very demanding privately-funded research project,
      then I have a late spring lecture tour, and will likely spend 6
      weeks in brazil, mid-may to the end of June.<br>
      <br>
      Curation will be sharply curtailed but I will continue tagging as
      a normal activity, undertaken for the research project. Depending
      on available time, I will continue, on a much lighter regime,
      Facebook and Scoop.it. Twitter will continue to alert new blog and
      wiki items, as an automatic feature.<br>
      <br>
      The blog will continue and I have devised a system with Franco,
      see <a moz-do-not-send="true"
        href="http://p2pfoundation.net/P2P_Blog_Planning_Resources">http://p2pfoundation.net/P2P_Blog_Planning_Resources</a>,
      but I will at most be able to spend half a day a week on it, so
      input from the community will be essential. I will aim for one
      personal editorial a week.<br>
      <br>
      Feel free to suggest items for the following permanent rubrics:<br>
      <br>
      (bear in mind we may not be able to publish as intensely as the
      plan below suggests)<br>
