Notes

• CalebPhillips expands on the history of the PTP -> local content is central to the PTP and at the same time is a 'stunning failure'. AlexisTurner responds saying the average websurfer is lazy and uninspired to contribute.

• post MGP news on the MGP 'portal'(drupal). Audio from local music shows, recording studio as downloads on portal. DonPark says Need to skin the site before pushing people towards it.
