Although Overencumbrance was a neat idea, the project failed due to people (including myself) drifting apart and not having the drive/time to contribute on a regular basis.  I’m turning this into a solo project, and don’t really expect it to turn into anything profitable.  That said, my goal is to publish something at least once a month.

I’m gonna carry that weight.
