Last week as many of you noticed we brought out our 1st major update (release 2.1) since we re-launched the new site on Oct. 31st. In all we addressed over 50 bugs and enhancements. The enhancements were focused on the following areas:

Political Capital is a way for us to create a kind of currency that is not dissimilar to real life Political Capital. As we participate within the community of Unity08, you gain Political Capital and the influence that garners. The amount that you gain will not necessarily be the same each time you do a particular action. We are devising a system that rewards new users for activity and then later stabilizes for active users.

Welcome to Unity08’s new web site. We are very excited to finally set the tone and direction for how we are going to accomplish our goal of remaking American politics by combining our highest values with our newest technologies. If this is your first time here, then we welcome you to Unity08! If you have experienced our site before, you’ll know that this is a major release for us.
