Collaboration Tree Hackathon

Join us for a weekend hackathon to finish the Collaboration Tree (cTree) framework demo site.

Who: Programmers, Designers, QA (no experience needed)

When: All weekend, as little or as much time as you have

Why: Help develop the open source framework for an exciting new technology

Where: Online from your home computer

The Collaboration Tree framework, the first initiative from the Foundation For an Innovative Future, will be an open source tool for online collaboration around specific topics or goals.  It's part wiki, part forum, part blueprint, and completely innovative.

After having difficulty trying to explain the cTree, the decision was made to create a demo site, which has already been open sourced after having significant work put into it.  There are still plenty of features which need to be completed and bugs which need to be fixed before the site can go live, so we're holding this hackathon to push it over the finish line.

Developers of any experience level are welcome, even without web development experience.  We also welcome designers who want to provide more polished/cohesive graphics or give feedback on UX improvements, as well as anyone who wants to test features as they're implemented (QA).

There's no need to commit to any day or specific hours, but we'll be posting more on our Facebook page about times for opening and closing Facebook Live videos each day.  Instructions are available on GitHub for setting up the project on your machine.

The site has been implemented based on Google's Polymer Project.  A video has been uploaded to Facebook covering the basics of Polymer and the Collaboration Tree project structure.
