• Blogs (web logs) to allow people to write on a regular basis on varying (town or school-related) topics
• Bulletin Boards (also known as message boards), for residents to carry on discussions. This includes the creation of polls.
• Live Chat (schedule and participation to be determined). We will see if we can schedule a candidates' debate for town and school positions.

• Anybody can access this site, but if you want to post you will need to register. Any Danville resident, property owner or business owner will be allowed to register and post original items or responses to others.
• SpeakoutDanville respects your privacy. If you want to post, we ask for your email address. This is primarily to filter out spammers and other mischief-makers. In some cases we will also ask for your street address and phone number, in order to verify that you are who you say you are.

We expect that elected officials, department heads, or other public figures will clearly identify themselves when posting to this site.
