Based on how little it's used, it doesn't seem to be much needed.

How is the reception of occupy web tools by the audience?

I have a good company for your movement. Braums ice cream and stores is very unfair to their employees but don't mind getting rich off of them. The one where their should be a large protest is in Amarillo TX. The address of this store is 7401 W 34th Ave. I will tell you a part of what is going on there. A few days ago a manager who was living check to check got fired mostley because a rich district manager who sets at home most of the time on her ass didn't like this manager so she had some of the other employees make up stuff so she could fire this manager. The other employees lied to get this manager fired. I dont blame the other workers for lieing because the knew they would loose there jobs as well if they didn't do what they said. The ones to blame is the assistant manager (Robin) and the district Manager (Christy)

Answered: Dispel Myths [ project idea ]

I like this idea. It could be incorporated with other "OWS Presents" projects like "Bloomberg Bucks"

To make it work I think we'd need a small, dedicated team of people (like 3 to 6) who would monitor news, see what disinfo was being pushed by the corporate media, and then research facts for a response - this would then be sent to somebody to write copy, and implement via CMS on occupywallstreet.net (or some other site).

I think if you could get a team of writers and researchers together people would support ths. You could post on classifieds.occupy.net with a call for volunteers.

Answered: Has anybody considered a thread or stream for order of operations?

using software like Visio (flowcharts) could help design that path.

Answered: Showcase The Support?

This is a good idea. It could serve to remind people that OWS is not a cult but a movement that needs popular support to grow. OWS needs to become more open and welcoming of the 99%.

Answered: What kinds of single sign on (SSO) solutions should we use for Occupy.net?

Greetings,

I am nobody important. In my mind if you have a single individual participating on the http://ideas.occupy.net and the http://collaborate.occupy.net you might consider a single log in for both and in fact all the sub-domains for occupy.net.

Consider the following scenario played out a few hundred times. You have a few thousand or more users that are also active on other occupy sites. Some may even be active in a few of your sub-domains.

Say a moron trying to sow discourse and discontent decides to register the same user name and start talking trash.

Another thing you might consider is using a spell checker and allowing for the text box to be expanded so that people can see their entire post before hitting the send button. This would make it easier to post.

Answered: Do all posts here need to be questions?

Interesting question. I think there could be some flexibility - certainly you could have directives like "post XYZ about some topic".

There was also a proposal on here to use to use the voting mechanism on this site as a way to filter out content for other publishing platforms.

I was thinking that we could have something like a "soapbox" category where people could share and comment on any topic.

Answered: Can I attach a file to a question?

I would love to see the rich-text editor turned on. Will you be able to install the upgrade?

I had been working on this site http://occupyideas.us that brightidea.com donated, but the fact that this (ideas.occupy.net) is a (presumably) occupy created/controlled and open source site is obviously preferable. occupyideas.us has the ability to attach files to posts.

Also you might check out the way I did Categories on that site. I think there's some that could be added here.

This site is really impressive!
