milestone: Project Creation and Management

This milestone is aimed at creating this project's operational and development structure.

Anyone with basic to advanced knowledge in information and software systems, or those with a background in communications are welcome to participate in this project. Contribution of any size is appreciated, even if that involves only submitting tickets for ideas and feedback. Please note that projects may often take years to get started. However, if you believe in creating a community of people interested in Geocaching and location based systems and communications, then let's get the ball rolling!

milestone: Integrated Communications Services

• complete: Provide an on-line platform for the purpose of bringing the Geocaching community together in a real-time chat environment. The freenode organization is currently being used as the communication back-end and we will put in great effort to make the generously provided services, for the channel ##Geocaching, available to all modern day web clients regardless of the lack of a full fledged IRC client.

• waiting: Provide a communications platform for organizations and projects in the Geocaching community. Our aim is to create a portal into which those involved within these Geocaching organizations to be given the access to hold conferences and group meetings allowing participants to watch in real time yet allowing only those that represent the communication topic to have the ability to have voice, in conjunction allowing the public to follow and comment using a variety of secondary communication tools. A forum topic will be provided for each event in the chat room name-space for the organization and its event date and time for public discussion. These systems are to be mostly automated with the exception of authorization and confirmation of the groups validity and access control to the communications resources.

• in progress: Provide other user based communication systems that may help in the development and interest towards this project and Geocaching.
