Draft Vision Statement: We're working with newsrooms, community organizations and community members to build the infrastructure and ecosystem of collaborative journalism so that newsrooms can best serve society with quality information and news informed by the involvement of partners empowered to participate in the editorial process.

We're working open because true collaboration is made possible through transparency, trust and inclusiveness.

Love this Project, I've been lookin at your blog and it's super interesting plus lots of cool resources. Looking forward to see ways of collaborating on your project!

Highly relevant in today's media circus. I really like your approach to working open.

This is sort of tangential to your project, but one that has intrigued me in a similar space (although their users are news consumers rather than creators) is fiskkit: http://fiskkit.com/about

If you are interested in talking with them let me know!

[Nefert]

Love this! Ditto @JazzBrotha. There's this platform https://civil.co/. You might already be aware of it, if not, it might be of interest to you.
