Sundeep-

That's probably a good idea; I'll have time to talk in IRC this evening, so I'll make sure to be around to answer any questions about the general schematic (we've also got a couple of Google docs that describe all of this in more detail, and I'll make sure everyone has access to them).

Hey guys,

I think the question is really how the two pieces of software you mentioned will be implemented. Clark, Scott and I were talking on IRC about different implementations, for example a widget that would be displayed on an article's page, hook in to a central database to pull up info/stats on the given article and pop out into a new window so readers could discover and search for more articles. I think IRC is a much better place to discuss these things rather than email, so I hope we can all talk in IRC soon (chat.freenode.net port 7000).

Hi Barrett/Campbell,

Would you liken this software to the functionality of the gawker media news blogs in their capacity to syndicate each other's content in a seamless fashion?

Thanks,
Geoff Nin

Howdy-

Thanks again to each of you for your interest in Project PM.

Sundeep, Eduardo, Geoff, Brendan, and Jaigene, meet Campbell, a Paris-based project manager specializing in internet strategy and development for large non-profit, educational, and activist organizations; his clients include include the Mozilla Foundation, Jane Goodall Institute, Pew Research, Johns Hopkins University, and Earthday.org. He's also a professional opera singer, weirdly enough.

As I've had a chance to tell a couple of you, Campbell is heading up our efforts to write the two pieces of software that are central to what we're doing overall. The first provides for a superior process by which bloggers can share their best posts with others while also receiving the best posts of their colleagues, as determined by what we call a closed crowd-sourced filter (which is better than it sounds, I swear). The other is based on a similar schematic but instead facilitates communication and collaboration among extended groups; this one will first be put into use by the 100 or so members of Project PM and will also be released under a GNU license.

Anyway, if you're still interested in working with us, Campbell will help to get you up to speed. Let me know if any of you have questions, and let me or Clark know if you're be interested in any of our other projects. Don't forget about our IRC channel at freenode.net, #projectpm.
