to-do

The main technical things to do are:

• Discoursebot python script needs to know which tweets mentioning it are new, and which are old
• Discoursebot python script needs to be able to pull a tweet "lesson" from the database
• Discoursebot python script needs to be able to use content of a Twitter mention of the discourse_bot twitter account to select which database "lesson" is most relevant
• Content editors need to be able to add "Tags" or "searchable words" Django-based content management system
• Content editors need to be able to add multiple tweets to the same "lesson"
• Overworked activist users need a "menu" of lessons to choose from

The main content needs are:

• Create signup / waiting list to add folks w/ brief survey on interests
• Develop user stories of affinity groups and activists
• Develop priority lesson content around BLM and femme affinity groups
• Validate need with activists in affinity groups (e-mail, user interview, personal connects)?
