OGM Wiki, 2021-03-17
Focusing Questions
What would we use a wiki for?
How would we describe the overall purpose of the OGM wiki?
- introduce anyone and the world to who we are and what we do
- provide an entry roadmap to who we are and what we do
- how do we distill what we've learned and share it easily with others
- e.g., pattern languages
- keeping track of things?
- intersection with other databases
- profile pages
- superpowers
- gratitude / praise
What teams of volunteers do we need to make it a community asset?
How would we arrange information and knowledge in a wiki?
How would an OGM wiki interface with other communities’ knowledgebases?
How do we best explain OGM Wiki to others?
How might we experiment with uses beyond wiki?
- brains
- website builders
- book authoring
- blogs
- directories
- syndicated information (e.g. Murmurations)
- YAML front matter!
Dreams / Needs
database of resources
- people + where you can access people (people API?)
- resources + inputs/outputs/gates
- want to feel rich, rather than looking through a window at stuff i can't reach
- people directory
- guilds directory
- general calendar
- general information about OGM
- collected pointers to call artifacts (recordings, transcripts, etc.)
- meeting notes
- patterns
- the start of some topic-based discussions
- whatever other bits and bobs will help to illuminate and ignite social processes around understanding the purpose of the wiki, starting to structure, garden, and improve the information space
