Site design and Contributor search

Just a quick update today to let folks know what’s been happening behind the scenes.

Site development. Here’s how it happens. I tell the guys that I want a Cadillac. Then they tell me that a Cadillac might be feasible but we’re going to have to start with a Toyota and work our way up to the Caddy. I say OK, because they’re smarter than me at this stuff. Seriously, we’ve had a nice shot at the first iteration of the site, and are making adjustments for a second design iteration. After that, there should be few changes, included in a quick third design, which is good to go. So far we’ve left some of the most complicated functionality out, but do have some neat stuff in the first version. Stuff that helps us move comment structures past simple blog/article formats. I’m excited.

Contributors. We still have people telling us they want to get involved. We want you to get involved too! Since we’re getting closer to launch, we’ll kick off a contributor recruitment/application process soon.

Speaking of launch…when? Well, I’m done promising things, but if we’re slapped with another futile election, we want this beast to be ready. So hopefully soon.

Cheers,

Brendan
