Dear Joi,

My proposal is about making a coverage of our course.

I will be putting this to my free e-Zine in three languages (English, Arabic and Frenchj) and make it available for the World.
I suggest a kind of special report which will be a text of about 10 pages including Photos and a video interview with Joi for instance.
The article will report on the overall experience (good stuff, things to be enhanced) and this from different perspectives (pedagogy, technology, logistics, networking, ...etc).

I'm currently with Lena on this project.

My emil is: nadh...@yahoo.com, twitter ID: nadhirus

Best,

Nadhir

Hi,

I'm very interested by the project John Weitzmann proposed, here is his post from http://p2pu.org/node/3838/forums/4123

======

I'd like to propose a project one could call "parallel news", to have a synoptic presentation of 3 to 5 news texts (columns next to each other) covering the same news item, but from different perspectives. The perspectives should be the classical political threads of newspaper background, i.e. progressive, conservative, libertarian, left-wing a.s.o. The idea is to give the reader a new possibility to directly compare what different political threads write about the same event.

The work could be done cooperatively and would include:

1. Identify suitable news text sources (in every country there's probably at least one newspaper in each of the threads mentioned above).
2. Cooperatively decide on a suitable news item.
3. Summarise the respective text so that they have approx. the same length.
4. Publish the summaries on the web.

Is anyone up for this?

========

We discussed there to make a webapp for this, I have the skills to do it.

I would use both Reuters' Open Calais and Zemanta services to do named entity recognition in a news item, to further discover others that talk about the same thing and to align them in parallel. I can also overlay if needed GATE (gate.ac.uk, for English texts mainly) to see when those recognized terms are part of a noun phrase, etc.

I'm investigating now what sentiment analysis services/APIs are available.

On top of that I would add Cohere from the Jetpack for Learning to allow users to annotate arguments, ideas, etc.

Should we create the project on GitHub (for code and wiki, issues, etc.)? Also I believe we could make it a Mozilla Drumbeat one?

(I'm @gridinoc on Twitter.)

Cheers,

Laurian Gridinoc
