Content Ideas

• Transcribe a selection of our 5moF talks that have happened since the last ZIP3.
• Put all the articles on the wiki as noisebridge.net/wiki/zip4/articles links prior to publication so we have an actual zine in progress and navigable without using PDF.
• Mixed reality AR and VR versions so you can project it into reality or visit it in VRChat/Aframe.
