Yes, Janice. For my own reading it´s ok, despite the need for scrolling, which is discouraging when we have so much stuff to read.
I think the current modal should be fine for you, a specific audience of those in the inner circle who are collaborating in real time dynamics.
However, it isn´t appropriate for sharing and getting attention from ppl in the same situation.
Given the 2014 opportunity for making it influential for policymaking in Brazil, I think there´s a challenge: how to make it more shareable, virable and at the same time dynamic.

I think it´s critical for crossing the walls of a small ghetto of those vanguard heroes... The proposals are so powerful that they deserve to accelerate the rate of diffusion.
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. " (Margaret Mead)
I´d add this: "But if the contagion is faster, this group can make history with more likelihood."
