Greetings all, I'm pleased to let this group know of a formative coalition that is gelling this week around web 2.0 for civic engagement and specifically seeking to create a prototype that integrates relevant information related to the Recovery and Reinvestment Act (the stimulus package).
The blog site (pre-launch) is at: http://www.opendialogcoalition.org/OPIA/ We'll be using the SIMILE widgets as the initial technology, and we've developed a larger architecture to house the widgets that gives users better control over 1) selecting the relevant widget (timeline, map, etc) AND the relevant source of data (e.g. drawn from blog posts at a particular site, other RSS streats, etc). We are planning to "chunk" the data based on several supported "frameplates" (see the site to explanations), so that only a reasonable amount of data is exposed to the browser and user and JSON or XML feeds to the end-user. I suspect the architecture may be of broader use and if you think it would work for YOUR project, please join in the fun and help us develop it further. It is all work that will be in the open, and freely available. Eventually, I intend to focus on the "video" aspects, connecting streams of video from different sources (lenses) about the same thing (topic) in an integrated way (frameplate). If anybody on this list is interested to learn more or participate, please contact me. We'll probably launch at this week or soon thereafter.

I´ve included a few more things that are regularly asked here, using only css, namely : # Change font color of the day in the bottom with css class 'timeline- date-label' # Text in top of bars, instead of bottom # Text inside bars # Bars with rounded corners, only in Firefox I will send it to your email.
