Manifesto

Pattern number within this pattern set: 
374
Douglas Schuler
Public Sphere Project (CPSR)
Problem: 

The world, as well know, is beset with problems of all types. Individuals and groups have ideas as to what should be done yet these aren't always articulated.

Context: 

An individual or group that has specific demands or recommendations.

Discussion: 

We will be discussing this pattern in more depth later. We will also be providing links to several manifestoes and declarations that are relevant to the work of this language.

Solution: 

Develop an articulate and forceful manifesto of beliefs. It should be clear and direct. It's not a legal document but a declaration to everybody, from people without power to those with lots.
