David Leung brings up a good point -- we should think of the scope of
the card. This is related to its size. How big of paper are we
printing on? Is it an emergency-wallet thing, or a "use for two weeks
and discard" index card, or a "keep tacked to your wall for a year"
index card or larger thing?

Hiya, Alioth. =C2=A0Hopefully you remember me; if not, I'm an AX alum (and
also married to Alyse, who you probably know as a Thetan alum). =C2=A0:)
The question that immediately pops to mind is: what's the scope? =C2=A0Is
this card for "useful info that you'll want in the next two weeks and
eventually throw away", or "useful info that you'll want to tape onto
your bedroom wall" or "emergency info you'll want to carry in your
wallet" or or or... =C2=A0:)
For instance, the LSC calendars they print are clearly intended for
"put on your desk, or tack onto the wall of your dorm room", and
knowing that first principle drives the design process.
This is a cool project :) have fun with it!
yilfs,
