Thanks for the welcomes :) Appreciate the pointers to GroupThink, BarnRaising, VetoTopic, and ConsensusGroup!!

''I like your new page on ConsensusPolling. Most interesting. Take a look at VetoTopic for something vaguely related. Any external links that might be useful? -- ChrisPurcell

It is an idea that is just developing so I don't have any useful external links yet. I'm looking but haven't found nor created anything important yet.

A memory from WikiSym. -- HelmutLeitner

OnlyIf seems to work as a topic name for FundableDotOrg, PledgeBank, and ConsensusPolling type activities. Alternatively OnlyIfCommitments? or some other topic might be better?

TedErnst and I have decided to convene a WikiVanning!!

I realize that I'm adding a lot quite quickly to MeatBall ... I'll let the bits I've dropped in today settle for a while before I add more. I've been trying to figure out how to add in ideas from other communities I'm a part of and finding it challenging. I'm beginning to wonder whether wiki scales? How many very active contributors can a wiki sustain while still being a community? Or more importantly, can I be part of this community without being overwhelming? I'm not asking for responses to this, just letting the good MeatBall folkses know that I understand how disruptive to community a NewComer (including/especially this NewComer) can be.

: We did some brainstorming on this a while back, due to another energetic visitor. Take a look at SpaghettiWiki for the genesis. I think we ultimately gave up. Just try and minimize the impact of flooding new terms on the community - perhaps localize them all on a single project page while you refine them - and you should do fine.

: When I first came here, I put all my ideas on a single project page, FacetWiki. I've also forced myself to limit my energy every time I have an attack of ideas. See MotivationEnergyAndCommunity for some of my thoughts on that.

: Of course, that doesn't mean "don't post". If you have ideas to share, post them all on one page! Once you've done so, though, try and limit your energy to give people a chance to read and respond at a slower pace. -- ChrisPurcell

EmbraceTheCycle (thinking about o/net and meatball and communitywiki and more and more)

DoubleWiki sounds like ItRocks? ItSucks?

Brandon, I read that you "...basically wrote my dissertation using a hybrid of emacs-wiki and LaTeX modes...", an experience surely interesting for many others out there. Could you write DissertationUsingWiki?? -- HelmutLeitner

: Yes Brandon, please do tell. I have a friend that is close to trying the idea. --MarkDilley

I'll try to create this page ... but it won't be until after WikiSym as I am trying to get a collaborative editor built before the conference. --BrandonCsSanders

Have you seen OpenAcademics? --TedErnst

Give me a call today? --TedErnst

We've standardized on [RecentChangesCamp] as the name and now we are homing in on a theme. If you care, please register your thoughts at http://RecentChangesCamp.org/Theme -- BrandonCsSanders
