Collections and You

• Description: Roughly, collections are lists of posts, or links thereto, arranged in a desired order. What types of post are better served by a collection than a typical chronological feed? Does the intentionality of ordering one's collection suggest collection-specific posting flows, interface mechanisms, or UI details for site visitors?

Assign Roles

1. Every Session Needs a Facilitator. This does not have to be the organizer.
