The waketrail vision



All in process, all moving ahead, all with so many potentials to ultimately have a space for bringing together so many disparate activities, dovetailing initiatives letting people discover each other to find ways to work together to care for and celebrate nature...

Here's how I see it working when it gets to a point of working well:

There will be is a view - a user interface, a website page - that allows anyone anywhere in the world to post information about any activity that relates to caring for and celebrating nature.  They would put in the location, the name of the activity, a "theme", a link, a few keywords and maybe some personal information.  There will be a very simple and easy to use template for inputting information.

What others will see will be a view that allows them the ability to find information about any activity that relates to caring for and celebrating nature. They will put in the location they want to explore, the name of the activity, a "theme" and maybe a few keywords, and will be taken to that location to see the activities that fit within that space of interest.

Everyone will have their name associated with anything that place into the system - so people can also search for individual names.

Some people might be doing things in various locations - for instance, if you take a hike, you pass through many locations along the way - a mountaintop, a valley, alongside a lake, along a shoreline.  These would all be locations - right down to a particular outcropping of rock along a shoreline.

There are technologies already quite solidly in process for effecting this sort of view, user interface and website page.  I am looking to develop these within a technology backend that will allow for some very dynamic interactions of information - also a solid technology, wondrously glitchy and with some great people taking on a huge to-do list.

Stay tuned!
