(b/c of the 'next level' post, and the aborted activist/hi-tech collab -- shit, maybe we can make an okp video game -- that would get more burn in the land of h.t.
overall, i think that while some of this could be distilled into a book (hey, there are several books worth of stuff in the archives), i think that a website (federisco's original idea) would be the better format.
its FREE. (which is important, cuz the folks who need this info the most are those w/out $$$s).
it can accommodate all the different twists and turns and topics we've covered.
utamoroho was trying (at one point) to put together an index of the archives, listing stuff topically. that would be a short cut way to getting this thing organized, so that it could grow, but still have some degree of utility before its a finished product.
i envision it as an *ahem* alternative about.com.
what you interested in... health? ok, click here.
religion? boom.
history? there it is.
plus, i think that okp itself (and certainly okayactivist for the more serious-minded) is of value in and of itself. ie, how all of these anonymous folks, with a very strange common denominator (certain musical taste), congregate here -- the group dynamics of how discussions take place, how to argue/persuade, how to research, philosophy, etc. all that's up in here and more.
don't mean to hijack your vision, bruh, cuz i can certainly get down w/ an african centered book (or books) from the contents of the archives (solarus' black ourstory month certainly shines as an example), but there's a lot more in there, too.
