What You GetO Ability to point others to your work,
and get comments and suggestionsO Pay attention to status—’new—under
review’ implies not ready for prime time; ‘published’ says it’s ready for immediate use
O [If you use our domain] URIs resolve immediately to the information you’ve provided; to use your domain, we’ll need to provide software to allow it to work properly 6/24/16
