Grey Oof! Just saw this now, Siona.... Yeah, flutters I think it was... no, "flaps", but I don't like it much. "Flutter" was the name to replace "Grapevine". Anyway, I just used "tweets" here because it's more readily recognizable. :) (9 months ago)

The new Knowledge Base project

Grey said Feb 27, 2008, 2:18 AM:

 

Hi everyone,

So, ever since the Nurturing the Flame thread a while back, and inspired in part by my gClouds idea, I've been working on a way to create a sort of repository for the collective wisdom of our community, sort of a pod-based wiki, since I feel this is a feature that's missing from Gaia.

The Nurturing the Flame thread made me start thinking that the reason I don't particularly enjoy the intellectual theorizing that can intimidate some members is because the debates seem so “sterile” and don't really accomplish anything. So then I thought that it would be great if these debates could result in the creation of some sort of article that synthesizes the various views and arrives at a sort of consensus view. That would give the debates a sense of purpose, wouldn't it?  Well, that's a big part of what this knowledge base idea is all about.

So give the instructions a read and see what you think, then we can all discuss thoughts and ideas for the project here, either in this thread or in other topic-specific threads here in this board, which has been created specifically for article and collective-wisdom related discussion.

Hmmm… actually, as I write this, I realize that this board has some overlap with the Chapel Perspicacious board, so once we're up and running and out of beta mode, maybe these two boards can be merged or something.

Anyway, I guess that's all I'll say for now.  What do you all think?

Cheers,
Grey

Sorry, I said “I've been working on…”, but while it was my idea, lots of other people have been contributing to refining the concept and process, including the mods here (and Eugene in particular) and others in the Gaia community, some of whom are also members here (Sandra in particular).

So thanks very much to everyone who's contributed so far!

Much love,
Grey

Hi Grey

Wow, ambitious project - it will be fascinating to see how it unfolds.  :)  Good luck to the Knowledge Base Project and all who sail in her!

This seems like a great project Grey. If it had started a year ago I would have had lots of time to contribute, but at the moment I have my hands full with another project.

I still want to echo the words of Arthur: best of luck with the project, it could be a great complement to the communion going on in the pod!

Thanks for your work Grey and Eugene.

I'm looking forward to the 'wealth gathering' (or was it 'hunting').

Looks like the project is a bust, so I've deleted the Knowledge Base board and “repurposed” the related discussion board.

The former “Knowledge Base discussion” board is now called “Collective Wisdom” and can be used to discuss spreading integral knowledge throughout “the cloud” on sites like Wikipedia and Google Knols.

Cheers,
