Another post introduces the pilot project @peterkaminski & @band & I are working on: using #MassiveWiki to map the #ToolsForThought landscape. Apart from exploring decentralised collective intelligence, we hope to help newcomers adopt #TfTs, which create the "raw material" (networkable knowledge) required for collective intelligence: mathewlowry.medium.com/mapping…

Finally, over the weekend I threw together a short video explaining how #massivewiki fits into the ecosystem, and how to get started: youtube.com/watch?v=qfYl3SiZJW…

what you are describing here is the #OMN project, BUT you are looking at this from the individual rather than the community. Good to think about this, with the understanding how all the current #dotcons are bad for us so recreating this individual view is likely an issue/problem for balance in the approach we need 😀

Hey, thx for this, do you have a link for more information? The hashtag didn't give much away beyond a funding page.

the text is scattered over a ten-year history - user stories here unite.openworlds.info/Open-Med… example layouts here unite.openworlds.info/Open-Med…, and I don't think the is a good central page anymore unite.openworlds.info/Open-Med…

This video which you have seen is a worked though example visionon.tv/w/jqTdss1qrdk4yEZi…

interesting that you use the wiki metaphor.

We use #datasoup or #witchescauldron

Then ladle or #goldenladle as the app metaphor.

In the #OMN the multi hashtags build up the Links.

It's a #KISS semantic web and grassroots process. A #4opens tool for society made up of individuals inside and outside communertys.

Not so much a metaphor as a first concrete example of the sort of ecosystem tool we need.

As so often with pilots, it's the unexpected outcomes which are most interesting. This project brought together 1 blogger and 2 wiki-ers. When @peterkaminski asked: would it be useful to be able to create "permanent versions" of a wiki page, creating a snapshot of an ever-evolving page? I asked: what would that look like applied to blogs?

Hopefully have an answer soon ;)

Yes, thanks to your "simple view" post, I can see there are many parallels. Are you building this?
in reply to mathew

we are building all our projects, just it's slow, as they are pushing agenst the #mainstreaming flow.

Kinda like my boat expedition down the Danube, turn the boat around, and you would have a VERY hard time getting upriver.

The #OMN is pushing #openweb social tech up river 😀
