Here's a list of things I think we should do in January.

1) Give the textbook boycott a chance. Remaining questions are how to do it, when to launch it and who to target.
2) Change from daily to weekly open threads. Most of my daily ones aren't getting comments/..and are therefore useless.
3) Establish a schedule for front page posts. Not necessarily a full weekly rotation, but just enough to make sure there's something fresh every couple days. We did OK in November.
4) Have 2 or 3 meetings.
5) Outreach. Nothing fancy... just posting links to our front page blog posts within relevant Facebook groups. Also, recruiting for the textbook boycott group.
6) T-shirt contest legality. We should get through the obstacle of legality questions so we can A) launch it in February, or B) scrap it.

Thoughts? Additions? Subtractions?
