Key word here is 'want'. Need a design. Don't like designing, designing is hard. Coding is easy in comparison, imo. Before designing, which is hard, comes the website idea, which is all tied up with design and is probably equally hard.
They say necessity is the mother of invention so what type of web-based software/site do you think that the liberty movement needs?
It's a hard question, but I know a lot of people have ideas on these threads as I've seen many and discussed ideas with others. I've also witnessed most of these ideas fade away or get abandoned.
My general ideas for a site center around some sort of "plan/project" management and a way to get all users involved in the process. Similar to the ideas of gunnyfreedom but more generic as his ideas seem primarily focused on local political district organizing. It would be nice if we had a functional site like that the pulled in all 'activists' and not just liberty activists. The second part of the idea is to have a "touch base" kind of site where people publish/change their "availability" to the movement and various "teams" similar to the www.groundcrew.us model (worth checking out if you're a coder or interested in truly web-based organizing).
To coders: Are there any of you interested in helping with design ideas and process models of how the site would work?
I'd like to hear people's ideas, and if you're interested enough to post, I'd gladly give you my take on whatever ideas you have. I'll even post related thread ideas to your idea if it applies. I've got some subscribed to via RPF.
My main purpose for posting this thread is to get some brainstorming done in the area of designing some web-based tools for the liberty movement. Forget coding, html, pictures, videos, infrastructure, etc. they aren't as important as design. If the design, and I mean the core functionality can be explained cogently then it can be coded and all the backend stuff is secondary.
