Kohlberg Commons.. something slightly different than the Creative Commons, at least in its Market Maker and Standard Setting Functions. A manner of cutting thru Legislative n-Action Conscientiously.
Reach me if You have any objection(s) to this exercise of and thru the Patent System at adam@lifesavers.io. i made the first of two major payments Yesterday as a partial step toward a formal attorney-client relationship with a Patent Law Firm that closes Monday, if i finish getting my Disclosure together in time.
Best wishes, and have a restful weekend! i'll look out for this week's Idea Sunday..and generally reserve some reasonable period of time for Kohlberg Commons Reoptions, as realisations set in about what kind of costs and opportunities are available in a given JUSTice ∱pace.
Please feel free to oppose on Your principles.. just please let me know how You think i can adapt or complement Your challenge, in the context of this very difficult reverse synthesis work.

Let me take a quick, unpracticed stab at this, on behalf of Lifesaver Labs and lifesavers.army.
There was a discussion earlier about the Kodak Calendar. Do We want to retire the 12 Month Julian in Our Long Now technical architextures, and operate on the 13 Month Kodak or, better yet, the 13 Month Pax Calendar?
i've been working on a Lifesaver Labs Calendar, which would intercalate, as the 7th Month, a Month called "Teaching" (تدريس, 教导, शिक्षण, Enseñanza), or altarnatively abbreviated as "Tea" or 茶, चाय, Té, or شاي (Tea), in i18n⁺⁴. Since Lifesaver Labs is a revision of the Pax, there would be no disruption in the weekly sabbatical cycle of any religious calendar, and carries all the advantages of the Pax base.
i've thought a great deal about the mechanisms and value associated with a changeover, as Amortized over a Century of Altared Life Moments. We'll need to work together as a Calm⁴unity to socially "hack" large regulatory entities like Congress and the UN to enthusiastically consent with a 13 Month Calendar Plan, but consider the advantages of a Perennial Calendar.. they're mindblowing, enormous, and easy for anyone to see just by glancing at an old, useless paper calendar laying around, simply because of the Annual Offset, or the consistent 6% - 10% revenue and expense throw that happens from Janus (January) to Februar (February) to Mars (March). We can start "working up" Dv Standards by going to the mat on Mars and the 13 Month Calendar, in preparation for something larger and more important.

Can we agree to drop the use of "http://www.google.com", and let browsers and email clients auto-generate urls from "//google.com" instead?
Which do you favor for use in print, email and advertising?
Option A (http://)

Option B (//)

Option C ()

Let's see where the community stands. What barriers exist to shortening the syntax for http and https resources to "//url.tld"?
If Hacker News supports the shift, Web 2.0 might just might support the change.
One proposed measure of spectacular success: If Google Mail staff reading this thread devote development time to prefilling the "//google.com" link destination to "http://google.com" when users highlight and link text that reads "//google.com", and promote this as a flexibility feature to its 350 million active users.
(If Google promotes "//link.com" as a secure simplicity feature, we'll save ourselves googols of keystrokes, and enable enhanced textual clarity and reading speed for urls printed in-line in emails and on paper.)
