WeAreNotAlone

I’ve been rooting around other communities lately- communities with similar efforts and focuses as our own.

I’m trying to understand the landscape we find ourselves in.

I’ve recently learned about other groups, working similar things as we are working on. I’m trying to understand how we all fit together.

Groups:

I’m also interested in understanding different projects. The projects are associated with the groups above.

Projects:

Here’s my understanding of the different groups of people:

CommunityWiki

Community Wiki, despite it’s name, is not about Community. Instead, it’s a place where people talk about wiki technology, wiki organizing methods, and wiki society.

TaoRiver

TaoRiver wiki are largely inspired by Community wiki interests. Wiki Nodes are organized on [the Wiki Nodes wiki.] Interwiki coordination on the Interwiki wiki. Wiki feature summaries are collected and cross-references on the WikiFeatures wiki.

In the larger scope of things, there’s the Internet Public Communications Scratch Wiki. It intends to be a ScratchWiki for all things public communications tech.

In particular, OneBigSoup, described and noted here, is investigated on IntComm and the InterWiki wiki.

MeatballWiki

Meatball derives how to construct an actual community online, in a holistic, pragmatic manner. Much of the wisdom about wiki that we have today comes to us through MeatballWiki. It has been around for a very long time.

Blue Oxen

Blue Oxen Associates is a consulting firm created by several of the people who have been involved in Doug Engelbart’s Bootstrap Alliance project, Chris Dent and Eugene Eric Kim. Blue Oxen’s focus is on many of the same issues as Engelbart (such as process improvement), and host a number of online forums (yak and tools-yak, among others) and wikis (e.g., PurpleWiki), devoted to best practices and tool development for collaboration and improving communities.

United Diversity

Also referred to as “udoo.” (United Diversity Open Organisation)

udoo, the uniteddiversity open organisation is dedicated to building commons and sharing resources: to improve quality of life for all while simultaneously reducing ecological footprint.

This is a primarily social effort, it seems. They have OpenSpace meetings called WTF and interact with large groups of people. It’s a pro-Democracy group, actively working to organize people. They are interested in things like CommunityCurrency?, FlashMob, and OpenSpace.

ESP

ESP seems to be the Technology complement to United Diversity. Many people involved in ESP are involved in UD, and some people involved in UD seem to be involved in ESP. However, it seems to me that the principal organizers of UD are ESP members. They appear to coordinate by a mix of IRC and Mailing List, with some collaboration by wiki.

It appears that they know the MailingListThenWiki idea, which makes me want to revise the MailingListThenWiki page.

The ESP people develop a system that they call “Plex,” which I’ll write about in a moment.

Uplift Academy

Uplift is a newly discovered group.

For a flavour of the Uplift Academy vision, see http://collab.givingspace.org/forums/community/2004-03/msg00012.html

(Write more here later)

Old Notes

To be refactored in, or tossed:

Discussion

To be added: The drupal site, that BayleShanks pointed out on SharedAwarenessSystem. These folk are connected more with the Int``Comm type of idea, rather than, say, the Democracy activists over in the ESP / UD world.

I also need to write about Plex, Semplesh (some history), OneBigSoup (link to it, really), and some relevant background on OHS, with a link to it.

I hope this page leads to a simple “map” of projects and groups. It would probably be best to make it a big visual 2D map, showing the groups and their associated projects.

Lion, there’s a couple of OHS links in the stuff in the Projects list. – MurrayAltheim

Mabe this relates as well (in Italian): http://netartmagazine.com/2003/FrontPage LuigiBertuzzi pointed me to it. They use #verbamanent on IRC – MattisManzel

So, what ever happened to udoo.org?
