Thinking about Marc Canter’s blog post a few days ago about a online haggadah”<\/a>.
\nIt would be interesting to use the happening<\/a> infrastructure for a distributed seder.
\nPeople could call in and participate, by phone, chat, and hypertext haggada.
\nAs in the “electronic democracy” event, a moderator could use the “hand-raise” convention in the chat space to call on people to participate on the phone, making it easier to moderate a group phone call.
\nThe interleaving of chat threads would be an online version of the interleaving of conversational threads at a same-place seder. If the happening had a wiki back end, people could add commentary as they read the haggadah, and could transcribe and edit the chat into future haggadah material. These are contemporary instantiations of the techniques the Rabbis used to put the original Haggadah together.
\nFollowing up on Marc’s site, he’s been talking with Philippe Scheimann<\/a> who seems to have thought of the idea too.
\nI also have some sympathy to Tom Shugart’s comment — there are advantages to the traditional, “unplugged” seder. The food and wine, and seder plate wouldn’t be the same, with individuals holding a plate of food and a glass of wine next to their laptop (and the traditional spills would be more dangerous!)
\n“Everyone who contributes to the telling of the story of the Exodus from Egypt is to be well-praised.” Or [green-card] and [thumbs up], as the case may be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
