Last year, I noted that Cynthia Kurtz and other story practitioners sought grant support for a story-sharing application, Rakontu.
Rakontu has now come to fruition, and Cynthia seeks to gather some beta test groups to start using it.
From the site:
Rakontu is a free and open-source web application that small groups of people can use together to share and work with stories. It’s for people in neighborhoods, families, interest groups, support groups, work groups: any group of people with stories to share. Rakontu members build shared “story museums” that they can draw upon to achieve common goals.
Rakontu is about small groups sharing stories for a reason. Rakontus are invitation-only, private spaces where people share personal experiences about something they all care about, and in the process build something they can all use. Usually people who start a Rakontu will have something they want to do together, some common goal, and they will be interested in collecting and working with their stories as a means of getting there.
You can learn lots more about how Rakontu works and what it looks like on its Screenshots page, on its FAQ, its Features page, and its Tour page.
