[Freedombox-discuss] Condemos: FBx UI & Potential Distro

[James Vasile]

Hi all, this conversation has faded a bit and I want to give it a shot
in the arm.  You all were on a good path.  What can we do to move things
forward again?

I'd also like to loop Sean O'Brien into the conversation as well.  He's
been digging around in Plinth and thinking hard about templating issues
there.  He could charge ahead on his own, but if you all want to
collaborate, this is probably a good time and place to begin!

For many years prior I've thought it would be good to have a computerised democracy to the smallest level, creating community collaboration for their environment, with the use of a Fritjof Capra inspired evaluation system to represent balances and imbalances, as well as the strength of relationships. The FreedomBox it the perfect base for this as it's intimate, as well as being privacy-aware.

The UI design as well as having the evaluation system, acts as (what I call) an 'Uber-Web', where editing and discussing websites can happen, without interfering with the website itself, as well as additional features. The UI provides searching and refining pages, aided by the evaluation system, and different pages of persevering and organising information, as well as a page devoted to discourse. I've designed it in mind to be turned to any application, and yes it supports apps.
