Mark Gorton, entrepreneur and founder of Tower Research Capital LLC, OpenPlans, Lime Wire LLC, and the Lime Group of Companies, is launching a new venture. This venture is focused on significant aspects of American history in the 1950s, ‘60s, and ‘70s that are not well understood by the public. This project has the potential to change the way American history is perceived and taught by future generations. The goals of the venture are to bring together disparate facts and people through the Internet and then to leverage this new resource in the pursuit of business opportunities. The first steps will be to create a website that facilitates the collation of information from a wide variety of sources, ranging from the web to printed text, and to build a community of researchers to make productive use of this web tool. The site will most likely include a wiki, question and answer functionality, and online reputation tools.

The Website Developer will work closely with Mark to specify and guide the development of the site, select the appropriate technologies and tools for the project, and recruit additional team members as appropriate. This opportunity is conceived as a consulting position, and this phase of the project is expected to require anywhere from several weeks to several months.
