Share your knowledge for the Compass

[Wayne Moses Burke]

As I wrote last week, we're gathering examples of the types of data that will fill the CongressCamp Compass so we can see how it comes together. My part in this is to collaboratively create an answer to the following question:

"What widgets are available to display social media content on a Representative's website?"

In order to participate, you'll need to create an account on the site and then hit the edit button. The rest you already know how to do. Just like WikiPedia, if we all add a little bit to the discussion, these sorts of questions can be easily answered. This is an initial test to see what sort of professional answer we can generate collaboratively. It will then provide an example of the types of data that we are creating so that we can develop the design and tagging systems to make certain that all the info on the site is easy to find, read, and understand.

If you have any feedback on the process, please send it to me directly. We haven't spent time designing the website yet, so it's very basic, with no fancy functionality added into it.

Thank you in advance for your assistance - this will only work if we do it together,
Wayne
