(LB: Also hey if you ever need a specific scientific paper, you could e-mail, say, a library science grad student and they'll probably happily find it for you and send it to you. Not that I know any of those. *whistles innocently*)

Hello, everyone! If you've been following @maloki for updates on the ongoing effort to #ForkTogether, then you may be happy to know that we had our first meeting on Saturday and are still planning out governance and infrastructure before the project "officially" starts.
