CodeCalls: A Quick Followup & Call for Action

The past seven days have been a very exciting time with the launch of CodeCalls.org. If you missed last week's article, here's more about it.

This week's post is a quick one with an ask.

Feedback
In short, CodeCalls.org is a free database that brings together jurisdictions and designers to help clarify the parts of code that are not always written in ordinances. Jurisdictions can get what they need for operations while designers get a little more clarity and help in meeting local guidelines.

I've heard from many this past week about how they'd love to see this come together, and I greatly appreciate the input and encouragement. I've also heard a couple concerns that I'm optimistic we can incorporate as we learn and grow while working on this.

Viability
Our first goal is making sure the project is viable. Essentially we have to prove to ourselves that we will be able to provide enough valuable content that both designers and jurisdictions benefit. We're doing this by going all in on the State of Indiana. If we get things to work there, we feel comfortable that we can learn and expand into other areas.

I have a quick ask this week - if you have worked in Indiana, or know of people who do, could you put us in touch? My email is joe@meyerfire.com, my co-founder Chris' email is chris@codecalls.org, or if you got this post via email you can just reply directly to it. 

I'd love to have a quick conversation about how we can make the experience easy and that the benefits of helping will far outweigh the task of reaching out. I see that as the only way we can get this project rolling and I'd be thrilled to have that conversation. 

Thanks in advance, and have a great week!
