* it should be possible to burp out the state of a database at a
certain, citeable date, as a pdf, which could be published on-demand,
as we're doing with our recent books -
http://pinicola.ca/books/index.htm - so that those who want a bound
copy can order it, and those who want loose pages can print what they
want from the pdf. I'd certainly like to see something like this as a
bound volume.
