Susan is taking a small, much deserved rest so I am posting this. Writing is not my strong suit, so please take it easy on me.
Our new site for Propagannon is up and ready for input. The site is Propagannon. Please understand we are still working on it, we'll be playing with the layout and we still have to transfer all our information there. In addition, most of us are still learning how to use the new site.
This is not removing Propagannon from Daily Kos, but rather providing a place for all of us to better store, organize, discuss, access and edit our information. We'll still post information here, but we can organize it there first and when posting a diary here can provide links to that site if someone would like to see more. This will make it possible for those who are new to review what we have done so far without having to search so many diaries. Hopefully it will have the added benefit of cutting down the number of duplicate diaries.
None of this would be possible, without kos, the daily kos and all of you. For myself, I've been frustrated by the SCLM and their inability to get the truth out there. I kept thinking that someone should do something and I'd place that responsibility on everyone else thinking I couldn't possibly be any help. After all I'm just one person without any special skills. Propagannon has shown us that as a group, working together, we are formidable. We can be the change we've wanted for so long.
This story is far from done. While the SCLM has mostly focused on the sex stuff, that isn't the story. How Gannon got access, who fed him information, to whom is he connected and who gave him classified documents and much more - THAT'S the story.
We're far from done. And we need your help. Transferring and organizing the data is a big project. In addition, areas still need researching. And we need everyone who has been looking into things here to post on the new site and provide their information. You can also volunteer on the new site.
We're not doing this for glory, we expect no credit. We're not doing this for money, no one is going to pay us. We do it because others won't. We're doing it because this is an important story and deserves attention.
A little about the site:
You'll need to register in order to post, but everyone can read.
Books are where we store and present our information.
Forums are where we invite everyone to share their information and hold discussions.
If you are leading an area of investigation, let me know. We'll need you to contact me or post in this diary after you register there so I can verify that it is you who registered there.
The new site can be a little intimidating at first, but you'll quickly become used to it. And you'll find that it display our information better than we could have done in the diaries.
As another gift back to the community, a group of those working on Propagannon are also working on setting up a system for future groups to use in their group investigative endeavors. This will allow future groups a smoother start and to avoid many of the difficulties we have encountered.
Big, big thanks to LynnS our web hostess and the one who set up the site. She's done an amazing job.
