last year Schuyler and i wrote an irc bot that acts as a nomic
secretary... we played nomic on irc for about a week then it died. my
friend urgen, big nomic-as-constitution inspiration, gave us lots of
useful advice and lamented the tendency of nomics to stabilise and die.

we also wrote a paper about using a game of nomic to manage drifting
consensus about classification systems, specifically RDF ontologies and
rules - http://frot.org/epistomat.html#nomic - we neevr really implemented
this though are both gung-ho to given we can ever find the time. but if
there is a use case for a simple version that will give us a kick.

cheers fabian,
