(2010 NaNo)

I'm already cheating massively, but will attempt to set myself a few basic standards regardless:

* No writing for a technical audience.
** So, for example, no writing about programming unless it's writing about programming that a non-programmer could conceivably care about.
** Screenshots should be kept to a minimum.
** No more general software-wank. Probably.
* Quotations will be included in overall wordcount because I'm too lazy to extract them, and anyhow I need all the help I can get.
* Hyperbolic political ranting must justify its existence on grounds other than the ease of producing wordcount with hyperbolic political ranting.
* Hand-drawn comics and photographs are legal, but don't count for any more than the original words (dialog, captions, etc.) they contain.
* From here on out, research and citations must be at least one reasonable remove from just reading/linking the Wikipedia article.
* Keep a lid on the mystical horseshit.
* ASCII art is legal.
* Any purpose-built software will be released to the public, as usual, but code may or may not be included in final wordcount depending on how desperate I get.
