Person-based wiki conventions
From espians
How to make best use of the person-based wiki. Wiki's are normally used to crystallise knowledge; we are using it to formalise collaborative process.
- Regarding your Userpage
- Update your daily intentions regularly, so that everyone can keep abreast of your developments...
- Click on the titles on your userpage to view everyone else's intentions, targets, skills, needs, etc...
- Edit any of your items with the "(+/-)" button beside each title...
- Stick in <onlyinclude> and </onlyinclude> tags to show what you are doing today, and create day titles for previous intention days blaaa... eg User:Happyseaurchin/Today
- Regarding decisions -- compare to Process#Decision_Making
- Create links to decisions that need to be made
- Use category function to label the meeting type: [[category:decision]]
- Let the process evolve, and more prominant people, almost critical for the effectiveness of the decision, will emerge
- Regarding meetings
- Create links to meetings you are going to
- Label all the Meeting pages just eg"2007-05-23 bruder-mamading-sofia" style page titles, with [[Category:Meeting]] at the bottom if they are important
- Label all meeting pages with "2007-07 Meetings" if it is a general meeting...
- Invite everyone who is going to that meeting to write intentions
- Afterwards, invite everyone to write their experiences about the meeting
- Anyone else who wishes to comment should use the discussion page...
- Emphasise intentions rather than reporting... the desired ratio is 2:1...
- Regarding Networks
- write bold if they are visiting richmix
- write normal if you plan to contact them...
- write italics if you don't plan to invite them
- Regarding shaila's
- Lable all the Shaila pages just '2006-05-23' style page titles, with {{shaila}} at the top
The use of a wiki in this way is new, in my experience, and offers the opportunity for a non-managed collaborative network. It is not just a technical system, but a mindset on how to best make use of our intentions/efforts in order to manifest collective results. Here's my initial attempt to explain it...
