About 10 years ago a group of us chantards got together in IRC and started discussing our best childhood memories of tv shows and how they influenced us to strive to aim higher. We discussed at great lengths shows like Mister Rogers Neighborhood and how for many of us that grew up in adverse and troubling childhood, people like Mr. Rogers were helping us feel like we weren't worthless, that we were special, and that our thoughts, discoveries, curiosity, and interests were important and valuable things, not just an annoying trait of being younger than most of those around us. We discussed at great lengths how shows like Reading Rainbow introduced us to documentaries of sorts on topics that we thought were interesting, but on a level that we could easily grasp, how they helped drive us to maintain an interest in science and technology for many years until we were able to pursue those interests on our own and become the people we are today. What we realized collectively was that while most of us may be chantards and deemed losers by mainstream society, our more lofty pursuits and interests were fostered by such media.
But then something very depressing hit us, one user mentioned that while she was happily married, she deeply regretted that when she would have kids, they would never get a chance to experience the same wonderful content that we did, and if they did, it would mostly be irrelevant to their generation. I think a lot of us felt a twinge of depression as that sunk in, as those of us who are aware of the current state of childrens' education know that the crap being produced today in the name of educational content is extremely bad. We understood that the educational content producers today aren't interested in entertaining kids while slipping nuggets of scientific logic and information, but were being created by the sort of SJW progressives that we all hated, as well as people who didn't have a STEM background.
A few of us talked about how we wished there was content like this being created, how we wished we would have an influence over the creation of such content. Some of us were interested in trying to create a show but after quite a lot of brainstorming we realized this was a fruitless endeavor as the connections and financing to make a decent show were just not available to us. But from this conversation an interesting idea arose. The idea we had was to revive a show we all enjoyed and felt would benefit future generations through an internet reboot, but in the end we realized this was a pipe dream.
That was then, this is now- The market might be ready for this
Since 2004 the internet has blossomed more than anyone could have ever dreamed. Wikipedia became the sum total of human knowledge on a single website, Youtube brought videos on the internet to the unwashed masses of the internet, and services like Hulu and Netflix grew like weeds and started fighting each other for market domination by creating and licensing exclusive shows. Sites like kickstarter, indiegogo and Patrion sprung forth and no longer were projects bound by the financing of narrow minded entrepreneurs who were only interested in recovering a profit. With such advances came power to the people and small teams with good ideas were able to not only sell ideas, but good ideas with no profitability outside of the moral and social good were able to be fed directly instead of going through charities that somehow always needed more money but had a funny way of making it disappear.

Plot writing general
Before you can have a script you must first have a general idea of where you want to go and what you want to cover, so that goes here.

I'm currently modeling the bus in illustrator and have been hitting a multitude of small problems with getting things like color and shape right. Here are the reference images I am using, perhaps someone else could contribute useful bits of stuff they come across that would help the project.

Before we go anywhere with actually writing a script the best way to get started is through brainstorming. The problem is that we all live around the world on the internet and our collective thoughts are much more difficult to convey in text form than it would be for everyone to sit in a room and blurt stuff out as it comes to mind.
Because of this, perhaps it would be best if we started with mapping out our collective thoughts and let the best ideas float to the top. We can literally turn the gobs of ideas into a picture and upload it.
