Hi Conseo, once the new community space (which Mike talked about) is 
functional, we can start to fill in data. But not political positions, 
but political issues and a list of the active communities in these 
issues. Once we have some of this, I would start to speak in/to these 
communities, but I wouldnt fill in their positions for them. I feel, 
there is something compelling about an empty position-page for such a 
community. ;-)
