* Timelines. What's realistic by deadline. How do we go faster?
* How can we protect the integrity of our front-end designs? Graphic design and usability are important.
==Target Communities==
Leaders and social entrepreneurs making the web better. The audience for this early "Phase One" site is more apt to be technologically inclined, and already understand the issues to a degree. In Phase Two we will aim more explicitly to get beyond the "techosphere," and reach a more mainstream audience. But for phase one, we can assume an audience of more mavens and insiders.
==Information Architecture==
From an information architecture standpoint, the Phase One site is primarily about connecting PEOPLE and PROJECTS, plus raising awareness about a big upcoming EVENT, the Drumbeat Festival.
The people and projects need to cross reference and relate to each other in multiple ways. We need the ability to easily associate a particular PERSON, for example, with a project they're backing. Plus then easily see the other people who are joining with them to work on that project.
==Timelines==
The completed site will launch in early January2010.
