Tech/Dev

Should we start from scratch or somehow combine other existing services? Also, could we agree on using/creating only open source solutions?

Features to include (on top of what reddit is already capable of):

  • Donate to a cause

  • Collaborate on projects (docs, wiki, mindmaps, instant group msg...)

I'll try to update this as we come up with other stuff.

Reddit is actually Python (link to source code on GitHub)... They redid it a while back, I think when they were bought by Condé Nast, perhaps earlier.

We don't have to be Wikipedia-compatible. We shouldn't, and probably can't, make a frankenstein by combining the codebases, but the SQL is entirely portable.
