Long away and far ago, Kossack vgranucci wrote "Daily Kos - came for the politics, stayed for the community." That has certainly been the case for many of us. Transcripts, as 2thanks describes, are essential to many people, for a wide range of reasons. The Community Transcripts Project is being established to spread information in yet more ways. To make it more accessible, more searchable, more flexible. Please be part of this massive effort to make more available the very information for which this site is so highly regarded.” ~ Yasuragi
A few days ago, kos wrote that Yasuragi is the most recommended commenter at Daily Kos. To date, members of the Daily Kos community have up-rated her comments 812,482 times, more than those of any other Kossack. Based on that measure, out of 151,888 commenters, Yasuragi is the most respected. Thanks, Yasuragi, for your gifts.
I repeat Yasuragi's conclusion:
“Please be part of this massive effort to make more available the very information for which this site is so highly regarded."
Question of the Day:
When lawyers use the word "memorialize," they mean "write a memo,""put it in writing," or "make a record." How can you help us to memorialize progressive speeches?

We crowd-source funds to pay our three skilled Kossack transcriptionists more than a living wage. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at by kosmail or email.
