Quick update on the debates
Our developers hit quite a few snags with the software and despite them working to 4:45 am Monday they couldn’t get it done. They are still working though and we hope to have a functional model later this week.Plan B was to do everything manually. Which is what we are doing. This means we can’t exclude external participants and don’t have a methodologically sound way of recording votes. But people are debating, and debating in large numbers. Last night we recorded 100 new blips or edits to blips in less than an hour.
Furthermore, the dedication some people are showing to the cause is remarkable. The Iranian team had to battle an internet crackdown yesterday to come online but come they did. We’re also recording activity from a great many other countries in the world.
