Love the project. I wonder if it would be possible to write up more granularly what the use case(s) are in a myutu document.
It looks like this project's needs will be a key driver for the 0.1 milestone.
enumerating those needs would be super for prioritizing other work
Linking to the school-wellness project which describes this use case.
What I took away from today's meeting is that there's an enormous need for rather basic therapeutic practice training to young people with mental health problems. It happens to be that this is a racialized issue in Baltimore and so this is a social justice issue. One thing we would like myutu to do is be a way for willing volunteers to coordinate as a community to support these young people. This means bringing together a heterogenous group of people with diverse skills and interests.
Could one of the uses for myutu being connecting young people with adults who are willing to provide emotional support and activities? Sort of a Big Brother/Big Sister function?
I mean that in the non-profit volunteerism sense, not the state surveillance sense.
Ok, it's fair to say I don't really understand this use case 4 years later. Maybe you could spell it out.
I (@davclark) am currently working on coordinating amongst a diverse set of folks engaged with research and programs in Baltimore City Schools. Here's a recent set of documents that is shared broadly. Obviously, this situation poses the kinds of problems I want to solve, because its actually my job now.
