Thanks for posting this thread. It's good to see a bunch of ideas floating around.

I would imagine that multiple discussion areas should be easy given that this code is based off Reddit. This has been discussed before, but no action has been taken on this.

Social co-ordination is handled to a degree by local Less Wrong Groups.

Re: debate tools. Some tools already exist. Have you looked into these?

Re: highlighting and taking notes across the Internet. Apparently the replacement for Internet Explorer will do something like this.

Having a system for enabling pairing up for learning also sound like a good idea.

I have more to say on these ideas. I'll message you later when I'm not overloaded with work.

I've only been to one meet-up and there's none in my area, so I don't know too much about the extent to which this is true. What do you think? Do you see room for improvement?

I've looked through the LW wiki page and wasn't impressed. I haven't looked too hard though.

I just looked into it and it seems awesome... but I hate Internet Explorer so much and am prepared to be disappointed.

I have more to say on these ideas. I'll message you later when I'm not overloaded with work.

Cool, I look forward to it!
