Hey Gale,
when you ask what we can do about that, I take “that” to mean “If yes, why don’t we start try and get more developpers involved to build on leparlement….”. The answer I would have is pretty straightforward.
For starters we need an accessible and compelling statement of intention (TOP definition).
OK. That is the job we are doing right now.
We also would need to have a proposal at hand for what the system should be able of doing (Emmanuel do you have such a definition document?).
Indeed. People will need definition (is that right word?) of future system in order of making people interested.
Then again it’s not like it needs to be all slick and pretty since these documents are openstanding, it is more to provide a reasonable amount of information and direction for people to catch up on the idea and decide if they are interested and want to participate. Once the starting elements are there, it’s all about publicity.
So, you think we do not get too loud before first two things are realised in satisfying manner? I do agree with this idea, as long as my previous attempts of getting people interested withouth any “catch” is actually far from satisfying experience. I believe we do indeed need to have some “product” first.
Talk on message boards forum, talk with political bloggers, email your address book about it, whatever you can think of to spread the word….
IMO it’s not exactly easy to do, but it’s really not that hard either, all it takes is to actually get the ball rolling.
OK.
ATB,
Gale
