Thanks, Matthew. I was keeping pace with y’all last year up until August, when I had to take a break for life events. I just finished up in April 2010. Reading the posts and comment threads was really helpful as I went along. Would have loved the index, so I’m glad it’s up now for future readers.
So, are we doing it again this summer as an official thing? I’ve got some friends that are down for the cause, but we need guides, and, uh, people to talk about it for us.
Twitter is abuzz with the effort.
