Life in the Connectome

We consider several ways that our use of federated wiki has improved in the last year and project that into a tentative framework for guiding development.

We think of this as practices to be mastered with support from the implementations.

- Whole Pages - Supported Communities - Automated Workflows

A page progresses from notes, to meaning, and ends with performance. A diagram looking over the horizon, an animation visualizing connections, a video reciting with emotion, these are performances we love.

The community that claim sites and seeks support via friend-security are curiously less alone. We have devised mechanisms for delegating friend responsibility independent of system administration duties. Our first delegates find this empowering.

The work before a community can be shared between members and the automated workflow steps they devise. This could consist of facilitating input from and output to cooperating applications so long as the assembly remains a team player.
