Seriously, though...  Reading the planning document for Lugnet, it
sounds like at some time there will be some fee-based services, such as
neighborhoods and user accounts or something like that.  Is this set in
stone yet?

Neighborhoods:

  - yes in the sense of community groups and sub-groups

  - no in the GeoCities sense of "neighborhoods"

User accounts:

  - no in the sense of Unix user accounts or hosting of arbitrary content

  - yes in the sense of simple memberships by which a person is given a
    permanent identity and data page within the community and allowed
    to participate in and hold auctions, associate themselves with sub-
    communities and/or interest groups, and other goodies that require
    automated identification and authentication:  voting, surveys,
    contributing data to the DB, marking a set in the DB as "wanted" or
    "have for sale," etc.

Memberships will be lifetime only, with a one-time initial signup fee.
