<div dir="auto">I'm also interested.

<p>Some of you may remember <a href="http://upo.csail.mit.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">the Ur/Web People Organizer
(UPO) library</a> that I've mentioned a few times. It's an
Ur/Web component library for rapid creation of applications to
organize people -- a pretty broad remit. It uses a lot of
metaprogramming to write your application for you based on your
database schema.<br>
</p>
<p>Suddenly an important variant of coordinating people is running a
virtual event. For instance, many planned conferences have moved
to online substitutes, on short notice. Events often have subtle
differences from each other while sharing many logistical
elements.<br>
</p>
<p>I wonder what interest there is out there in developing enough
new UPO components to support virtual events. For instance, I
think it needs good ways to interact with video-conferencing
software to livestream talks with Q&A, and to make the
recorded videos available easily afterward in perpetuity,
integrated within sites that take advantage of rich, per-event
data schemas.</p>
<p>Would anyone like to join me in trying to plan out the required
functionality and divvy up the coding work?</p>
<p>Full disclosure: I'm still developing a startup-company concept
that could take advantage of that support. The company is about,
basically, a very simplified IDE for snapping UPO components
together, so that people without programming experience can do
it. My idea is that the underlying, programmer-focused library
remains open forever, though.<br>
