Friday, August 15, 2008 by Dave Winer.
Yesterday an update of FlickrFan shipped for the Summer of OPML project, and as we hoped, new users popped up and all of a sudden it's a teeny little bit like a community! 
So, of course it's time to put it in perspective, with a howto explaining how to report problems and ask for help.
