Pretty neat stuff: 5M pageviews per month (Slashdot had 15M) after only
a month, and a healthy number of new editors, etc., and frequently 50-60
comments per article.  I'm sure there are some who will pooh-pooh it,
but that's some pretty healthy participation there, and I'm impressed.
The site's still a bit rough-looking, but hell, that's easy to fix.

Congrats to all you soybeans.

Yes, and I like the fact that they're already providing disk images with
slashcode ready to go out of the box, so the entry barrier to getting mad from
looking at the ancient Perl mess is lower than ever. :)

They certainly seem to have taken the ideas of transparency and
community to heart, which is good, considering some of the anxiety about
these things early in Soylent's life.

I took a quick look at pipedot.org and posted that one to m.n.i.d.
instead.
