Re: [hackers] Edge-to-Edge Principle / Reed's Law

Zack & Jon -- i'm not sure it's a good idea to copy David Reed and Larry Lessig on these huge e-mail messages. It might be impolite to ask their opinion Without giving them the context of the discussion. (And for God's sake i finally had to fix the spelling in the subject. I couldn't take it any

You can build just-as-effective slashdot moderation stuff into the aggregator as you could in the central site. The way in which the system collects metadata has no effect on this. > There is no "us" and "them". We are all on the same team. I am not accusing DFA of having bad intentions. I a

[hackers] Various ideas lifted from blog space: Rideboard and Phonebank

So, I'm up this morning and reading the messages in the "Secret Surprise" blog.    RIDEBOARD   One person suggested a ride board for Dean events.  Is there such a ride board up?  Should we get something like that going in DeanSpace?   Again, in spite of being a high tech person, I like qui

[hackers] DFA's Kit, Media Team, and Time Frame

Hey all! >From DFA's perspective, we're interested in getting this kit out as soon as possible -- and for a bunch of reasons, we don't think we can push DMT. (Most of them, but not all, are legal, fwiw, but as such critical to our lawyer's ok and getting this out the door.) If anyone has any quest

Re: [hackers] Notes From Meeting

Excellent point Lynn. I think the stock drupal modules we're including are: - forum - blog - profile (which will be modded) - book - poll We may want to include more and/or have some of the above installed but "turned off" by default in our kit. This will allow administrators to add functi

Re: [hackers] Edge-to-Edge Principle / Reed's Law

So either the media-network intelligence goes in the nodes of the network, or it goes straight to the center of the Dean Media Team mother-ship. A few times now you've talked about "having to get permission from DMT" or being "controlled by DMT", and now the "DMT mother-ship". It's clear that you

Note to List: I love chewing on this "vision thing"; it's the way I operate: identifying and evaluating grand principles, assimilating them into my personal philosophy and then seeking to practice that thru my words, actions and affiliations (and perhaps it is the same for everyone; we just choose

[hackers] Stupid GPL question

OK, so there's a postcard script I'd like to cadge a few ideas from. Not wholesale cut/paste, just a couple ideas. It's licensed under GPL.

There's other stuff in there, e.g. if you modify the code, you have to give prominent dated notice of the modification. Wide release doesn't make any difference. > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Saturday, August

Re: [hackers] Notes From Meeting

When I was writing documentation, I made a different list. I looked at the module page from the perspective: "what features will help build community." i.e. relationships between data and between people The list is on: Configure Drupal http://deanspace.org/node/view/67 I expect that this list, ma

I read Ping's description of the action.module last night and I agree with Zephyr it has to be a high priority. Here's my entre into it's creation. I think that project.module could be modified to do this. Since I'm the one that just played with it to create helpdesk.module I'm volunteering to ta

I think that project.module could be modified to do this. Since I'm the one that just played with it to create helpdesk.module I'm volunteering to take on action.module since media is stalled. >>>GREAT! I am unsure what "linking to the Get Local tools" means. Does this mean Get Local tools are go

RE: [hackers] Action Module/Get Local

Okay, after a couple of hours of thinking and trying to map this out and bouncing said thoughts off Zack, here's the thinking: there is no reason for a distinct get local module. Get local is events. So, when we say "get local implementation module" that's just event.module with the ability to imp

Re: [hackers] Action Module/Get Local

Event module will be for advertising and Get Local will be for planning as I see it. We can load some information into the event submission form saying something like, "did you set this up with Get Local? you really should do that first." Just let me know what exact language and linkage you would l
