Welcome JR Logan and Kevin Ewing, we'll add you to Google Groups shortly.

Without further ado: www.beta.civichaven.com. Ready for test drive, still very much work in progress, expect new/evolved functionality in coming weeks - thanks to Brandon Jackson for all the work done and yet to come!

If you're more visual, here's a video with scenes, faces, notes, and screenshots from yesterday's #swFORCE meet at Bru Cafe.

More notes:

• If you're lost and need more background, click here to learn more about our New Haven Project.
• We reviewed tech and community specs through the lens of #CompHaven
• Core objects identified include: visions (or ideas); campaigns (or a series of related projects); projects; groups (or people or actors).
• Need to map visions, campaigns, projects, groups to facilitate process of turning common visions into collective action.
• How do we foster an "all ideas/campaigns/projects/groups WELCOME!" ecosystem, while drawing in (vs. alienating) existing ideas/campaigns/projects/groups already up and running? E.g., Is #BIkeHaven just another name for half a dozen campaigs/groups already in existence in New Haven? 
• Don't forget hi-touch social institutions like libraries, schools, and potlucks - few of them are integrated into our hi-tech/social media circles yet they account for many visions, campaigns, projects, groups - objects in other words - that we need to map into our civic hub. Without which our social web is diminished...
