The meeting with Zephyr went extremely well. It is still amazing to me how much they (HQ) are willing to roll with whatever we throw at them. Here are a few quick things before I head off to bed.
- I recieved fairly detailed design instructions from Zephyr for the Talent Database web app. She wants it a bit more complicated than what we had expected. Here is the design doc she typed up: http://www.hack4dean.org/txt/frontroom.doc - more on this later... - Node hosting as we had planned looks to be out. We cannot raise our own money - if we became a PAC we couldnt coordinate at all with HQ, we would become useless. They cannot pay for the hosting unless the sites became official. However, it is expected that there will be ISP's willing to offer to host and help set up the tools for communities who want to use them (for a price of course). This would get us halfway there (if the ISP's set up the scripts and we just had to teach them how to admin it). More on the later.... - This project means a lot to the campaign. They are very much so counting on us. When the tools are ready they will do whatever they can to incorporate what we have done with the campaign. They are also open to suggestions / help with the main DFA site. Got ideas? - It looks like I will be moving to Burlington in a month. I will know for sure Friday. I am very excited to say the least, albeit quite a bit tired right now. So - we will decide the name for the network by Thursday correct? - thats the deal, no? Talk to you all later, -Zack
