Poetify is looking for collaborators!

Hi there, I have created the beginnings of a software platform for electronic poetry. The project is simple javascript, css and html. The idea is to create textual effects as opposed to graphics effects so that words can be morphed into other words, words can disappear, change form and ... you get the idea I hope. The idea is to allow poets the opportunity to play simply and easily with the typographical nature of their poetry as opposed to the traditional syntax, rhythm, rhyme and other techniques of verse.

If this sounds like something you would be interested in please join me in working on this. If you have ideas or suggestions please email me. A sample electronic poem (in Italian!) is here: http://durity.com/double_figure/codex_enter.html so you can see for yourself the beginnings of what I am after.

This is my first free & open source software project, I am incredibly excited :)
