A German wiki for the founders of online communities and people sharing similar interests. As far as one can tell it will be the first try at a democratic MemberWiki (complete transfer of power from the founder to the members).

The initial setup is:

to be a place "for founders and hosts" (not about communities)
German ist used as its main language
MemberWiki (members will vote and decide as soon as possible, perhaps 1-3 years)
- an official list of member has been started: http://www.wikiservice.at/gruender/wiki.cgi?GründerWikiMitglieder
- together with processes (under development) to add new members and to make decisions
currently not copyleft (but there will be documents and pages for member to use in their communities), license will be chosen by its members
semi-open (there may be a members-only space)

The planned relationship to meatball:

good neighbourhood, we will try to give more back to MeatBall than we draw from it
we will not specially aim at translating MeatBall pages, the new wiki shall grow out of its own needs and develop its own language
a MeatBall representative is invited as a member (a voting member as soon as a voting system exists). A formal invitation will be given.

My commitment to MeatBall as the primary place to discuss online community issues (to do science) is unchanged. -- HelmutLeitner

A discussion moved to VotingSystemCollaboration.
