      Touching vision. Backed.Start the conversation. In case you are searching for prior art, here is an example how Venessa Miemis' inspired vision of Junto convo may look in practice. http://vimeo.com/12625298

      Great idea, Alphia. I think first we need to get it out in English and then begin to start looking for translators. Thanks for the feedback and the idea.

      Hey, great ideas for expanding the project. Have you thought of perhaps making the app also available in languages other than English, to make the conversation truly global?

      Brilliant idea, This seems to me a "crowd sourcing" approach that recognizes the inherent wisdom and creativity in us humans individually and collectively. Thanks so much for taking the lead here and developing this app and let's harness the evolutionary impulse for the good of all!
