Those of you who come to IVN.us regularly know that things are changing quickly here.  But what we are building at IVN is more than just another news source.  Our goal is to create both a forum and an atmosphere that promotes discussion among those do not see eye-to-eye on every issue.

In the coming weeks, expect rapid change and the addition of new features such as personal blogs, author political tendency charts, better e-mail updates, and dashboard tutorials to assist writers in making the most of their posts.

In the meantime, we ask for your patience as we build this network together.  We have ambitious goals, but a relatively small team.  IVN.us (a publication of the Independent Voter Project) is built on the ideas and energy of a small and young team who each bring a unique and necessary component to the long development process.

If you find a bug in the system, or something just isn't working like it should be, please let us know.  You can e-mail us anytime at contact@ivn.us.

We look forward to hearing from you and having your participation at IVN.us.
