That said, it's an amazingly functional interface. But I'm hoping some degree of permission was obtained first.
FWIW, it looks like BetterMeans is using JQuery-UI and PivotalTracker is using YUI, and I don't notice any commonalities in their source with a quick review... so it may well just be mostly that bg image (which they may have both gotten from a common & free source).
Dunno if you see a smoking gun somewhere, but I haven't thus far.
As I write this I'm arguing with myself about the power and value of genuine transparency, it's something I believe in deeply but done asymmetrically, as you are doing verses your competitors or as our governments are doing verses the private sector does provide a huge soft underbelly for easy attack.
What we lose by the competition reading our every move, we gain by having a large, engaged team.
I don't think it's for everyone, and there's definitely a place for stealth, privacy...etc. But I do think that businesses can afford to be a LOT more transparent than they are today. Hopefully it doesn't blow up in our face.
Members can nominate contributors to become members (this voting happens in private) and then they can have binding votes. It's a mod of the apache foundation governance and it's baked into the platform.
I wish you the best of luck, but I have to admit I don't think I would find your tool to be very useful. If people working for me are that unhappy that they feel the need to resort to anarchism, then maybe they should question whether working for the company is something that they should even be doing. Put another way, if I were working for somebody and felt like a pawn, I'd choose to work elsewhere if trying to engage the leadership and persuade them on issues failed.
-As someone else posted on the site, attempts to create a new workstream meet with a 403/not authorized despite being logged in.
-It may just be a placeholder, but the "Browse all enterprises" and "Browse all workstreams" seems to be an unwieldly way to discover new enterprises/workstreams, since after the launch is well underway, that list will explode in volume. The search box is nice to find enterprises you already know about, but really what's needed to make it easier to find new enterprises (IMO) is some way to hierarchically categorize or tag your organization. And also those "Browse all..." type pages should definitely be paginated; they're way too long already.
