- Check out the projects on the projects page; add your ideas, comment on existing ones, and add your names to the projects you're interested in.
- Check out the mentors on the mentors page, and contact the ones you're interested in working with; talk with them about projects you're interested in working on.
- Celebrate (or wait nervously, depending on your disposition). You may continue to edit your profile here or the projects you are interested in until 11:59pm EST (GMT-5) on August 6, 2007.

Background: I'm a researcher currently at Brown University working on public health and carbon sequestration. I am developing an organization known as The Manhattan Project to develop proper mediums to interpret the massive amounts of decentralized information, specifically in regards to news.
I would really like to talk with other people about this project, get a feeling for where it could go and what we will need to get it there. This means gathering programmers, graphic designers and other high-falutin thinkers to join in on the discussion concerning a proper web browser for the 21st century.
In SoCon 2007, I'd like to develop Junk Monkey, a dynamic web plug-in complimented by wikis and user-generated content. There's a more detailed explanation here along with a movie here (there's a lag in the video, you need to fast-forward at 4:00 to 5:00).
You can see the formal proposal for The Manhattan Project at my blog.
