We're looking to the future and considering the next steps for InvestigateNet.

We asked ourselves whether we should we keep a singular focus on developing a functioning prototype, or first enable easier participation from all of you who have expressed interest in getting involved with the project.

As part of our deliberations, we considered our belief that microcollaboration holds largely untapped potential for journalism and beyond, which led us to a natural conclusion to enable broader participation.

We're already on Facebook, Google+, Twitter, here, and will start adding to Github when we have code to publish.
