10:11:11ⓢ ↵I'm still open to suggestions for the best way to use this, but a few people expressed frustration with autos translation when they already know English, so I tried to leave a place people to opt out! Feedback welcome :)

This is a big part of the reward for volunteering or working at discount.

(ie. open source news can be a sacrifice of other things: see "cablegate" vs "panama papers", where a big one-time dump of cables had minimal effect compared to calculated releases on a timeline). I'm a big fan, but open source thinking can have trade-offs that need to be weighed :heart:
