Outline Commentary
A beginning outline of project parameters is available for commentary.
Until then discussions will be held on the project’s Reddit page to finalize the tentative outline above.
If you have expertise in any of the components above and would like to moderate that particular forum, please reach out!
Send email to: admins@deliverycats.com.
See outline discussions at: www.reddit.com/r/deliverycats.
Note: Reddit is a good option to foster intellectual commentary, for a new enterprise without organic followers. A dedicated forum system hosted on our servers will facilitate round table discussions.
Whatever your role or station,
You can help.
To bring this concept to fruition, we need some experts, engineers, and designers - and lots of grass roots support.
Support doesn't always mean cold money.
People are the lifeblood of any organization. We need personable, thinking minds to work together to design and create the system. We will need people to use and test the system. Most importantly in the beginning, we need people to spread the word so we can reach a critical mass of participants.
Thanks for your contribution whether time, money, or a simple share on social media.
