+### PubSub
 
-## Work in Progress
+There are some active discussions on PubSub, following a good video chat last week during the hangouts. PubSub is the name we're using to talk about a simple protocol which will help facilitate easy publishing and subscribing on top of IPFS. Our requirements are that it must be easy to implement, well-layered, and mesh well with the rest of the IPFS abstractions. To join the conversation about the PubSub API, check out this [issue](https://github.com/ipfs/notes/issues/118). For more discussions, check out all of the [PubSub issues in the notes repo](https://github.com/ipfs/notes/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+pubsub).
 
+### [ipfs-log](https://github.com/haadcode/ipfs-log)
+
+[@haadcode](//github.com/haadcode) has been working on and released [ipfs-log](https://github.com/haadcode/ipfs-log), a partially ordered linked list of IPFS hashes. Each entry in the log points to all known heads or leaf nodes. It can be used as a building block for applications that need to track "dynamic content", eg. track a version of a file, create a feed of IPFS hashes, messaging or as a transport for CRDTs. THis was originally created for, and is currently used in, [orbit-db](https://github.com/haadcode/orbit-db), a KV-store and Event Log on IPFS.

+### ipfs init
+
+`ipfs init` for js-ipfs [is almost complete](https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs/pull/91), thanks to [@noffle](//github.com/noffle). This will have go-ipfs compatibility, but run using only JavaScript. If you like building tests and sharpening your semicolons, there's plenty of [opportunities to contribute](https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs#contribute) in js-ipfs land.

+Bitcoin Magazine had a guest post by [Zach Ramsay](https://twitter.com/cerebralbosons), from Eris Industries, about [How Blockchains Can Further Public Science](http://www.nasdaq.com/article/how-blockchains-can-further-public-science-cm592775). Zach also published part two on the Eris blog: [Public Science: A Slightly More Practical Guide](https://db.erisindustries.com/science/2016/03/15/chains-and-science-how-to/). Both are well worth the read, especially if you're in academia.

 This newsletter is also a community effort. If you have cool things to share for the next weekly, drop a comment about it in the [next weekly sprint issue](__TODO__)! The more people mention items they want to see in the weekly there, the easier it is to make this and send it out.
 
 Thanks, and see you next week!
