Lee Felsenstein is seeking volunteers to contribute to the development of an open-source social media system designed for public group conversations. The project requires approximately 30 examples of diverse, multi-level conversation threads to serve as placeholder text for testing branching and commenting features. Contributors will be asked to create text threads that include interesting headlines, simulated reader links, and specific tags for private dialogue acceptance or rejection. The system is designed to support complex interactions such as topic drift, journalist meta-commentary, and user voting.
Key points:
- Crowd-sourced request for conversation data to test a social media prototype.
- Guidelines for creating branching text threads with specific formatting.
- Discussion of system features like private dialogue, journals, and voting.
- Opportunity for community members to participate in the development process.
