General News
Lyn Headley of rapidnewsawards.org will be on a panel at South By Southwest on March 13th with David Cohn of Spot.us. We’ll be talking about community-funded reporting, so please come and take part.
News For Editors and Judges
The site is progressing nicely. In addition to the voting capability, we now have a notion of “publication,” in which the periodical makes a transition from one edition to the next. This is where we will plug in the final vote tallying and funding functionality. It will also enable people to browse through previous editions.
Here’s a screencast showing how the site currently works.
News For Developers
Our code is now publicly available at github, the social coding site. Sit back and watch the codebase grow.
What’s Next?
Installing a unit testing framework and implementing follow/unfollow.
Um, What’s Rapid News Awards Again?
