    Hmm. I'd like to correct the "dicated" (sic) in your video (to be "dictated")... and I think maybe it's going to be really hard NOT to have a dictated top-down editorial bureaucracy when starting with "experts" who will groom the process? Maybe Hypothes.is will learn something from Wikipedia's editorial system? This is an interesting project, but how will it be sustainable? Is it going to rely on random volunteers to fact-check everything? Won't almost everything eventually be labeled "double-plus ungood"....?

    I'm curious how this film will be released if it has a lot of Calvin&Hobbes artwork... Will Watterson have to approve the use of his characters -- or is it considered fair use for a documentary? I thought I read an article about how Watterson doesn't like licensing his work -- which is why there aren't any stuffed Calvin&Hobbes toys in stores....
