  Agreed about user levels. I suspect most people don't want to be admins. I'd think the default new user should be allowed to post content to existing areas (sorry, don't have the Drupal lingo down yet) by creating their own posts or pages or whatever. We might want to have a semi-admin level available for the asking that allows people to create new content areas, help manage other users, etc., and save the godlike powers for just a few people.

  Swag!

  I haven't used CafePress before, but my understanding is that you can set the price so that you are making no money, and the buyer just pays the amount that would have gone to CafePress in the first place. Another issue is quality: I haven't ordered from CafePress, but I have heard their T shirts aren't very high quality.

  Another thing would be to take orders for something like T Shirts and only order the ones that people had committed to buy.

  Otherwise coollibrarian's idea--put any "profit" into LSW freebies--is a great plan. I don't think you'd have to worry about huge amounts of money...

  Computers in Libraries 2008

  You are not excited, Josh? I feel the same way. I'm excited to do our shtick, and I'm excited to meet lots of people. The conference program is leaving me stone cold, though.

  Do we need an LSW site?

  I think I missed a brief thread in the Meebo room today about having an LSW site where we could host our own stuff. Would this be worth the trouble and expense to host "our own" wiki and discussion forum? Or is part of the charm of the LSW the fact that we have no infrastructure, pay no bills, and can plausibly deny just about anything we might be accused of?
