Getting More Involved

Dr. Cline is directing people to drop by the site and get more involved. How?

UPDATE 6-15-05: Click on the Volunteer term for more opportunities

Well, I encourage visitors to sign up as a user and plug the following XML feed into your favorite RSS reader... http://www.echochamberproject.com/blog/feed ...

Dr. Cline is going to continue to analyze the interviews posted here. So feel free to comment on his analyses -- or read through some of the interviews and start identifying themes of your own.

The first phase of my roadmap involves creating some Drupal modules in order to collect some useful information on the interview sound bites.

As I paraphrased Martin Kearns in a previous blog entry:

'You have to figure out how to use volunteers for 10 minutes -- if you can't put someone to work for 10 minutes, then you're not ready for the 21st Century of political organizing.'

Unfortunately, I don't have this infrastructure completed just yet -- which is one of the reasons why that the Coalition Building is Phase II and not Phase I.

I want to tap into the Wisdom of the Crowd phenomena by recruiting a diverse, decentralized and independent set of volunteers -- and the final criterion is to implement "a way of summarizing people's opinions into one collective verdict."

This is what I've laid out in Phase I.

If you're interested in participating down the road, then please sign up as a user now. More distributed tasks will be posted in the near future.
