First of Many Posts

It's about time we created a 'progress' blog for one-earth.com...

First of all, thanks to the sixteen people who wrote articles for one-earth.com. They turned out great and we're excited about seeing them on the site when it launches.

Thomas is working extremely hard at managing the developers and ensuring that we're on target to launch by October 13. Tomorrow, we're beginning a new phase of development with a new development team, which we hope will be able to wrap up the site development on time and on budget.


Structurally, the site is complete. Check it out
here; looking at the way the site is organized, you can see why we refer to it as a "craigslist for environmentalists."
We have a few major features to add and few minor design tweaks and we'll be finished. One of the major features we'll be adding is the ability for users to save actions, businesses, organizations, etc., just like delicious.com allows you to save your favorite web sites. It'll be a convenient way for everyone to save and share their favorite actions, businesses, and organizations.

Last month, Nick filmed and edited an intro video for the homepage, which will help visitors understand the purpose and function of the site (in case it isn't completely obvious already). Thanks to Lila and Hired Gun for making it possible. When the site gets closer to the launch, we'll post it.
