Construction Site
March First and the year is thundering on. After many years of watching, waiting, avoiding writing code, I’m at an end with losing time so the push is on to build out the prototype. I’ve taken $10k from my super and put my money where the mouse is and started working with two fine gentlemen in crafting the initial sites for the development - Pollee.net, and the first iteration of a Consul site, broomevoice.org, to begin testing the tools and start to develop the customisations.
By way of introduction those gentlemen are:
Dr Alexander Hayes: Taking time out of his own project, The Oethica Group, to put this site together so we all have a better understanding of where we are heading the development of the concept, based on Consul.
Mr Paul Parker: Coder and journeyman down the same path since we first met on the frontier in my time with Online Direct Democracy Party. Helps me stay in touch with our Linux box and is coming to grips with the Ruby on Rails world of Consul, dab hand in the garden and on the farm.
By March 10 we hope to have this baby ready for the first prospective Cooperative members to view and get to grips with the journey ahead, soon after that the official founding of the two Cooperatives we will need to establish the legal entities and the banking relations needed to continue.
As they say: Never too old, never too stupid ; )
