What we can do (Score 1)

The net could be a powerful agent in the upcoming election, but only if we make it. We need a forum on the net, much like slashdot (indeed it could use a lot of the same code) It would enable canidates to present their ideas side by side, and enable voters to comment on them and maybe ask questions of the canditates. The site could also have polls etc. I don't think it would be that hard to modify the slashdot code to achieve this. It would be hard for me because I don't know Perl, but I am certain there are plenty of skilled people here. (Im afraid that I am a geek of another breed - a math guy.) If you have the site you just have to convince NY times etc to link to it. I don't think that would be terribly difficult. PS: When is the new slashdot code coming?
