Continuity
This page is an effort to plan for what will happen to various things that I maintain
on the Internet or in other digital forms. It is adapted from
Eric S. Raymond's continuity page.
If you're reading this and have solid reason to believe that I'm out of the game and the designated successors listed here don't know it, please email them all and ask them to re-read this page and take appropriate action.
I designate Bryan Medsker and
David Kohfield, both of Anchorage, AK, to be my
Internet and computer co-executors. They have the authority to coordinate whatever
actions are needed to transfer my projects into safe hands.
Stephanie Bauer of Anchorage, AK and Jack and Carol Williams of Loma, CO will have
insight into what my wishes might be, and I want them to also be involved and consulted.

send mail to my virtual executors. They'll arbitrate between conflicting claims, arrange the transfer,
and flag the project claimed.
