About the group
Idealogs is a new open-source crowdsourcing platform for understanding controversial topics. The problem we are trying to solve is the fundamental lack of context in public discourse today. Our solution is a repository of context built by a dedicated group of volunteers. Our team is contributing content to the site in Markdown, as well as building the platform itself in Django.
Group leaders

- writers with expertise on a subject that has two or more conflicting views (i.e. any subject)
- django developers
- journalists
- academics
- wikipedians
- anyone interested in learning django and/or markdown
- anyone interested in improving the state of public discourse
Tools

Relevant links
