One key area of exploration is computational thinking, through which we can tie the practice of journalism [...]

In a Skype conversation with the lead developer, he said I could get a branch off the trunk for certain projects I might work on. Basically, I would have a testing environment (sandbox) and it would make sense to also have a place (branch) [...]

But — alas! — Blake Eskin, editor of NewYorker.com, proposed a session on Why Journalists Need to Think Like Geeks (thanks for the heads-up, Will Mitchell).
