Thanks Samantha and Tyler for starting the discussions in the forum, and to everyone who's contributed so far. There are some really good questions that we need to consider there and many more yet to be asked. I have grouped these discussions under the category "Projects" and you can find the three current discussions here. I'd like to just gently remind everyone that the class is as much about process and figuring out what questions to ask (and how to answer them) as it is materializing a "final product." We'll most definitely produce a "project" that unfolds in some kind of public manner, but I expect there will be differences of expectations and motivations amongst us.
Our conversation with Paul Wittenbraker should be a great way to learn from his experience with Civic Studio.
