Re: [papercreters] Re: Post this year's invitations to help build with papercrete here.

It's been 6 months since this thread was started.

How about some updates?

If you look at this post on the web page in the archives you'll see
all the responses to the initial post attached below it.

How many projects are people working on that haven't been included?
I know I've read snippets about a few of them.

How are other projects progressing?

How have everyone's plans changed?

Any recent pictures to share?

Has anyone visited a project? What did you think? Did you take
pictures?

Who is winning the "Most Sweaty Papercreter" award for 2008?
