not to sound cynical but that map looks like its from huck's army, don't want them to think we're copying them.

they copy us... (it is theirs, plus we can change it up a bit)

Get rid of the "Black Power" fist or you'll lose a ton of over-40 people. That emblem has a lot of negative connotations.

I agree, thats why I included the non-fist verson. It was just a concept that I decided to play with and exhibit. I think the first one with just the stars is more appropriate.

You are the big proponent for the "map idea", so I wanted to ask your input Landon. Do you think we should have it scripted in Flash/Actionscript or Javascript. (Or do you not care.)

I can help us do either.

I've always had more faith in Flash than java, but thats just me...

I'm trying to find a way to get the chat sey up on the Google word doc... or find some other opensource way of laying down info and chatting att he same time...

 

[Myerz]

JavaScript works well if you code it correctly, but flash is pretty compatible with almost every browser nowadays so I'm happy with flash.

I am in the middle of finishing the layout design for the website which I will be exhibiting to the public later on today. Landon is working on content as far as I know, and we are setting up some sort of meeting system so we can communicate more efficiently.

After that it is coding time and we will release a functional beta v.01 to get people on the site after we have a working build.

I think thats most of the story for now.

I'm getting alot of people with alot of tallent jumping on this so im trying to get the best place for and open source kind of meeting place... Google docs is simple, but for some reason it isn't giving me the chat menu on the side like it does with spreadsheets...

This project is really starting to sound exciting.

I'd like to suggest an "email congress on the issues" section.

It would let me select a current issue (Homegrown Terrorism Act, for example) then show me some sample letters for my congresscritters. I could cut and paste into my own letter, then hit "send" and emails would be sent to the appropriate representatives based on my ZIP code or other information I've provided during signup.

This could be extended with a list of media outlets to be selected to receive the email as well.

Great, I think we should just use an external chat application along with google docs if there is problems with the google chat system.

Hey Def, what do you think about the proposed layout?

Hey Def, what do you think about the proposed layout?

I had thought that I would be in charge of the layout since in reality I had been working on this same project for about 2 weeks longer then anyone else had, just no one knew it.

However, its never a problem to have too many proposed designs, the more the merrier. I think its okay, but I will reserve a detailed critique until I release my design for thepeopleunite.com which should be later on tonight.

Until then, keep on doing your thing.
