    I saw the bit about how the 20 hours a week can be work or volunteering, and my first thought was to figure out how to start a charity that needs people to volunteer from home doing something fairly easy but still useful. I’ll have to ponder that some. It’ll be a project to start working on. (Suggestions are welcome!)

      The first thing I thought was something like helping sort/categorize photos/documents/etc. for libraries or museums or something. But then that made me think of all the existing citizen science efforts out there where they have people categorize images of galaxies and stars and stuff, or run protein-folding simulations on their home computers, etc. I wonder if those kinds of existing things could be spun as “volunteer work”.
