Attracting People to the Community

<simon>: how do we draw more people into this community?

<tree> perhaps a clearer synopsis of whom the community serves, why the community exists, etc?

<simon>: Good question. Well, I'm here to talk about managing information. Particularly, ease of accessibility and transparency between information sources.

What will Orange be when it is done?

That can be found in OrangeTopia

Has this project already done what we're trying to do?

To-Do

• travelling a link from one page to another should increase the relevance between the two (track edges in addition to existing node tracking)

Other Interesting Projects

• The timing of the discussion is broken into semi-synchronous rounds. Users are allowed to post responses at any time, but their responses are not published to other users until the deadline for the current round passes

• DBA Revolution is an open-source architecture written in Perl which simplifies and streamlines the process of writing applications that run on an instant messaging network. It features easy scripting of IM responses, session variables which are consistent across messages, session time limits, support for multiple "apps" from one bot, basic security, and the ability to use multiple access lists. It makes writing IM apps very much like writing mod_perl or PHP pages. It currently supports AIM, MSN, ICQ, YIM, and Jabber. The homepage has full tutorials and documentation.
