Forum:Green noise

Copy of draft posting to Doors of perception

Hi John, I get your report via Eric Britton. Can't afford to get to meeting (and my French is hopeless anyway!) but wanted to say (plug) a couple of things. They may sound obvious I don't know (?). First to have any chance of 'handling' green noise, or any other massive amount of info surely it's essential that it be clearly available under copyleft type licenses (or public domain)? So that the many not the few can be involved in 'handling' or developing it? Secondly to maximise the wisdom of crowds it seems best to go for the technolgy with the most people behind it. Shameless plug for Sustainable Community Action wiki http://sca21.wikia.com Of course as a wiki it isn't yet very big, but the software, mediawiki, via Wikipedia surely has more people behind it than anything else? As founder of SCA of course I'm biased (!) but believe in the integration, synthesis and synergy which thus seem to be possible (see also http://sca21.wikia.com/wiki/Village_Green#Joining_it_all_up and for example SCA pages on transition towns http://sca21.wikia.com/wiki/Transition_towns  ) (Copying this to SCA forum)
