I'm speaking myself at #aaronswartzday later and I'm STILL UNSURE WHAT I'M GOING TO SAY, but I was pretty sure I will be glibly referring to the #FranklinStreetStatement and its historic place.

I always feel a bit bad that I have to point to a copy in the Internet Archive https://web.archive.org/web/20090218125143/http://autonomo.us/2008/07/franklin-street-statement/

So for my hackathon hacking today, I gave it its own website: https://www.franklinstreetstatement.org/

Hope that's okay @mako @evan etc al!
