@simon I’ve long wanted an aggregation of Wikipedia articles “people who were resuscitated after death-like conditions” and now I want “institutions changed from current to past tense”.

@voxpelli Thankfully not any more! I think we had startup funds in there a decade ago, before we converted them to £ and moved them to the UK
