Sepaking of keeping track of it all:

1. I'd be happy to host bnomic.org again, but,

2. I need to know what needs setting up, and

3. I'd like to try to pull together the debris from the current game
and either archive it if you're starting over, or put it back together
in an operable state if you're continuing. How might I do that? Where
is all of the stuff?
