We should have a more complete list of projects and ideas that have been discussed or worked on at Open Twin Cities meetings or events.

My idea is to use a Google Spreadsheet to act as a data store, then simply display this on a page on the opentwincities.org site. We can easily use Tabletop.js to get data from the Google Spreadsheet as well a template system like that including in Underscore.js to make it look good.

I have started a basic spreadsheet here:
https://docs.google.com/a/opentwincities.org/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AoH-VJHQACf4dEhkNTgtdG1PRlduYnRLd2g4clBaWWc

I am not sure what is the most appropriate way to handle input. I think having it editable by anyone could end up a bit bad, but we don't want to be gate keepers for it. We could also look at a mix of editing directly and Google Form submissions. Ideas?

Is there anything to the idea of storing content in the spreadsheet as Markdown, and use something like https://github.com/evilstreak/markdown-js to convert it to HTML. I'm in the midst of turning much of opentwincities.org's content into Markdown, in part because it's so much more legible as plain text. As I work with the spreadsheet, I'm starting to see the same need there.
