Contact with organism.earth

Hi there,

Came across organism.earth/library and really appreciated it.

I've been building open text websites for ~20y (see e.g. https://github.com/okfn/shakespeare/graphs/contributors - sadly openshakespeare.org itself is now offline).

Current one is https://sutras.lifeitself.us which has some significant alignment with your efforts.

Would love to chat a bit more about what you are up to. You can reach me via https://rufuspollock.com/contact/

Best,

Rufus
