All these ideas are great Ideas and Online GA's will help many who can't be on the Ground feel more connected. Library of info is Key as so many are hungry for facts and have a hard time getting them in Global Chat as it moves to fast for any in depth learning.

Occupy everywhere!

As we are all dealing with also a small timezone problem, is it not an idea to have a kind of 1 clock system? Iam already a long world player and know most timezones out of my head , iam stil making mistakes. Iam in Holland europ and your talking about times. But what times? NY time?LA time? Or UK time? I know it works nice to use 1 time for everybody so ppl all over the world learn to know than exacly what time they can see things . I think bc the movement started in NY with Wallstreet protest we shal take NY time. Maybe can somebody put a clock next the ''WE ARE THE 99% " logo.That way its easy to see how much time diverence ppl have with the chat time.It shows on every page. And for those who dont like NY or Wallstreet(as me.lol.) Maybe an idea to cal it Lewis time.(for example, as that man inspired many) Or somebody else who did much for the 99% as an honnor guesture.

Just my 2 cent:)

I agree Vicky99 that this has the potential to be a wonderful resource for information...where do we post articles? Not very cyber savvy and am having a hard time navigating this site....practice will make perfect, I am sure!
Also agree with AquaBuddha and Vicky - plenty of time between GAs for folks to consider, respond, edit, before moving on to next topic, esp. important if this is to be a global forum. Once per week imo is best...but no faster than every three days.

Congratulations on this! It is wonderful to see! Thank you!

Hi hans thanks for your suggestions! :)

just so you know ...there is a clock here on the forums ...bottom right, with a lil clock icon. I'm pretty sure you can set to your own timezone OR keep it as the board time zone which I believe is PST (-8 GMT)

I propose we get through Christmas and New Years and then do some serious work on these forums. :)

Disgruntled occupiers. Lets also talk about disgruntled occupiers. I see much much infighting. We need to brainstorm a way to help us to help each other stay focused in all areas occupy.

First off, I've seen loud bickering at GAs, spoke councils and the lastest thing (again)... mod bickering. The mod bickering was not at Global Revoluation (GR). It was at Occupy Unity - now the mods have created Occupied Frequency. We have to learn to stick together and accept some ways as not our own ways but maybe a better way to go or at least try another way for awhile before you say something. We have to learn to give each other a chance. We have to respect the wishes of others - not just our own. Somehow we have to keep Occupy unified. We need to remember the most powerful thing that unites us is our FIGHT AGAINST WALL STREET which equates into OUR FIGHT AGAINST OUR CORRUPT GOVERNMENT. We have to stay focused on these key things and not get lost in complexities which divide. For example, 136 working groups within OWS. Could the 136 working groups maybe have been a mistake that needs to be corrected? Could it have made OWS far more complex than it should be at this point having so many working groups? I dont' know. I'm just asking. I really don't have the answers. We come up with answers as a group. I'm just posing questions for us to ask ourselves and each other so we can progress and move forward in the most "SIMPLISTIC" manner as possible as when we bring in complexities it creates confusion so IN MY OPINION the best thing to do is to try so very hard to just keep it simple for everyone (keep the message as simple as possible) and when people beg for complexities remind them what it is all about.

So I guess I have a two-fold comment. Just righting down my thoughts. I encourage everyone to just start typing what's going through their heads here. Just study, research, read ..... and then begin to brainstorm, writing down thoughts right off the top of your head. Don't go back and edit, just type... asctually maybe we need a brainstorming forum just so we can type away -- the first thing that comes out of our brains. Some of those ideas are the best. ...and maybe the least complex as we have over-complicated everything in our lives and sometimes it takes great thought to work through all of the complexities to get back to simplicity.

call me blank, but i am not seeing how a chat like this would be different from a forum like the one we are using, except for immediacy. also, on the forum, no one has to take minutes.
