This project is about refining blogs and wikis and bulletin boards. Its about coming up with more forms of network communication. Its about answering the question: "How do you have a conversation amongst a hundred thousand people?" Or even a hundred people. Its a tool to build communication tools. Its about getting the tools out of the hands of the engineers and into the hands of the artists. Its about letting the users build their own tools. Its a visual programming language geared towards building collaborative web applications. It aims to support a new class of designers--community designers: those who are more interested in fostering and nurturing a productive enjoyable community than in any specifics of HTML or databases.
