edit Planning Game

We created a bunch of colored index cards addressing four main topics

• Purpose ... what we want to accomplish (pink cards)
• Values ... how we want to be (orange cards)
• Perceptions ... how others see us (green cards)
• Tasks to do next with respect to the Purpose, Values, and Perceptions (yellow cards)

edit What we want for the world

• Collaboration
• Refactoring

edit What does the world want

• Accessible Publishing
  • Quick and Easy
  • Powerful
• Community
  • Challenges of Community
• Freedom to Build

edit What is the AboutUs vision

• Wiki for Everyone
• Value of the Commons

edit How does the AboutUs vision deliver both what the world wants, and what we want for the world

A better internet. Introducing people to the wiki concept Better community Better collaboration More easily edited (everyone who is hungry to add value can ... creators can create, editors can edit, grammarians can gram) gives you: Better content ... richer and deeper ... densely connected

Pushes powerful publishing away from webmasters/developers toward the general public ... Submitting patches ... revision control ... easy pushing ... everything programmers use to make their lives easier

edit Are we positioned to carry it off
