We're still largely looking for abstract use cases, similar projects
around the world, groups that would use a space in DC, and volunteers
to staff the DCPL lab while others use it.
Nate and I talked to the founders of "The Uni Project" which is
implementing what could be considered a two- or three-module liblab
(mainly for group reading, reconfigurable space, and workshops) in NYC
and Boston. Lots of good overlap there; once we've nailed down an
elevator pitch next month they might sign on as a partner.

[Cross-posting to the wm-dc for information only; please continue
discussion on the liblabs list!]
