While journalism is certainly valuable for adding context and insight around news stories of the day, it's also important to have the documents being referred to at hand. This enables you to find bits that don't come up in reporting, and compare the reporting to what was actually written or said.

At present, my posts have been centered on the many high-profile trials going on in the US, as there tends to be both a large amount of documents and reporting thereon. But there is no intention to restrict content to that.

FAQ:

Q: Why do I get a 404?

A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.

Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?

A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn't get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn't actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.
