Yes. We're building Spectrum on a technology stack that allows for that. Principally, we're using React Redux, which is actually an open source framework that was developed by some Facebook engineers. And so it's really amazing everything that's supported in this technology. So bots and that sort of technology are available. As we've looked at the state of the art today with chatbots, there's not a lot of compelling examples in the real world that we can point to, but we can imagine lots of stuff that you could do with a chatbot in Spectrum, especially as an organization. You could potentially manage org banking, or, well, there's just a lot of stuff that we could envision. It's not something that would be available, obviously, in the first release of the product, but it's definitely something that we're looking at. We're particularly interested in finding some examples in the real world that we think are compelling that we could draw from.

Are you asking for submissions for the...

John Erskine · Vice President of Publishing

Yeah. Especially over the last few days, I had a number of really engaging conversations at the event Sunday night with people who had lots of ideas about Spectrum. We had a couple of groups of people here in the office yesterday for tours who also had some really interesting ideas. Specifically, hearing from people who are managing large orgs, or several people that I talked to manage or are involved with multi-game orgs and guilds, some of whom are enormous. We definitely want to get that kind of feedback. That's definitely one of the reasons: all throughout the development of Star Citizen we want to release information early to get feedback, so this is no exception, of course. We'd love to hear that, and I'd love to solicit feedback from people.

I think one of my favorite comments after the Spectrum discussion was, this is Spacebook, right?

John Erskine · Vice President of Publishing

I want to call it Spacebook. It is definitely a very specific kind of social network for Star Citizen, if you look at it that way. Because we're able to leverage really cool technology that's in the open source domain now, we're not trying to see things and then invent our own fundamental technology to do it. We're able in many cases to actually leverage the same frameworks that are driving popular platforms. So it's exactly that.
