Ihmistulva

Since we do Open Source already and it has a strong communal "doing together" idea behind, I decided to go one step further with collective efforts. Last week we launched a site that has a goal of making people take actions to change the political climate of Finnish government to work harder and better on reducing the effects of coming climate crisis.

Our site, Ihmistulva, is about an event happening September 5th and our goal is to gather 5000 people. The working force behind is Friends of the Earth Finland.

The cool thing about hacking a new site without a company limiting the creativity is that, well, it's more free and (hopefully) doing general good.

Although I am very anxious to get to move to work on Midgard MVC, Ragnaroek got still a new contributive effort, a new discussion component (cc.kaktus.discussion). I wanted to create something new instead of extending the old components available and to provide more microblog-like interface that combines old tree topology to flat "give me the newest items" microblog.
