Canvassing the various tools out there for Internet-assisted debate and discourse. Could be anything from a Facebook group, or Mind Manager mapper... still in the formative/brainstorming stage, please add. [[User:Mchua|Mchua]]
 
=== Specific tools ===
 
* http://www.debategraph.com - lets people map out arguments
* http://am-crt.amthinking.net/crt/berkman/login.php
* [http://gregdek.livejournal.com/29289.html lingobot] by gregdek - realtime irc translation via google translate
* [http://gobby.0x539.de/trac/ gobby] - great for transcriptions (used in Wikimania '06)
* http://thinkature.com/
 
=== General classes of tools ===
 
* chat/IM (many-to-many, many-to-one, one-to-one, private backchannels, discussion bots - we use a triagebot to keep some software dev discussions on track at OLPC - how privacy/logging of conversations affects what people say)
* wikis (how various features affect the type of discourse/usage)
* mailing lists (interesting: how their usage changes when they're bidirectionally synced with forums - this happened at OLPC)
* forums (see above on mailing lists)
* videoconferencing
* virtual layers atop physical spaces (for instance: one of the most fun presentations I've ever done was when I made my slides live-editable by the audience during the talk - trying to find the tool I used to do that... [[User:Mchua|Mchua]])
* translating services (see gregdek's lingobot, above)
* relay services for the disabled (example: deaf person types or signs via webcam to interpreter who speaks into a telephone, listens for response, then signs/types back)
* audio layers on top of online games - talking with your World of Warcraft team during a strike, etc.
