I was thinking about something like Google map mashup with zoom to aggregated/detailed view for global, local issues. The framework for one issue (opinion heat-map for global warming for instance) would be replicated on different zoom scales. I am not certain about the scope. Someone on this list has designed for Google mashups, perhaps she or he could chime in.
Initially we would need personas, a workflow, and a set of conceptual wireframes stored in Google docs/ Flikr accounts. That should be doable by February. The personas, workflow, wireframes (or beyond) could be discussed at the conference. That, I think, would be an interesting discussion.
