Here is a brief list of use-cases: (intrinsically incomplete)

  • You can just create a news media entry in order to contribute to create a comprehensive list of online newspapers and news media platforms for each country (of course starting from Georgia). You know that most of the people always check the same few news sources and/or they are entrapped in social networks.
  • If you know a foreign language, or you are foreigner yourself living in Georgia, you could create a review of a significant article or news of your country of origin, in order to present it in some way to a Georgian audience, and to let it translated in Georgian by your coworkers, volunteers, or the editorial staff. Of course you can do the same if you are Georgian and you want to present a significant Georgian article to an international audience, or you want to complete whatever published article with some note or observation, because you don't feel it completely right
  • You can write articles tout court either in Georgian or in English: if you don't have an adequate command of English, and you don't have coworkers, they will be translated in English by volunteers or the editorial staff, and the Georgian version (if accepted) will be published as well
  • You can join the team and help as moderator and as interface curator, for instance translating interface pages to Georgian, to edit their contents and to add pictures to them. You can also go forth and (theoretically) turning upside down the site modifying its forms, creating new ones, enhancing the data structure and designing the front-end (see preamble in the Main Page) which in our idea could be either a newspaper portal like this one, or a news feed like https://news.google.com/, with the notable difference that in our case news summaries are published following an agreement with authors, instead than by web crawling performed by the leading search engine.
