[BNM] [OT] Please don't hurt my peelings...

[Premasagar Rose]

Right on! Your peelings deserve a better deal!

If anyone has thoughts about the proposal, it would be great to get some 
comments going on its page on the SI Camp website 
<http://www.sicamp.org/?page_id=91>. That may increase its chances of 
being selected as a project for the event. Thanks!

And if anyone can think of a better name than "Social Compost", please 
pipe up :)

Prem.
