mj, are you the 'north' from greenstar? Im thinking perhaps this topic of yours might be lost where you posted it and should go into a discussion ... ? I think the Topic section,k forums in this area of focus might work to generate a response for you.

Yes, that's me, from Greenstar -- I'll cast around and see if I can put my question in a better place. New to this space. Thanks -- maybe the "Aficionados" Forum? If you have a better idea, let me know.

Hey mjnorth - I think I might have answered this question before, because it sounds very familiar. Our tentative date to release the OS code of WiserEarth onto SourceForge is hopefully by the end of March, but we're still testing the development of it to ensure it works as documented. Will keep you posted as we get nearer to the release date.

ok michael, this IS so SO a small world... you probably remember me, Deborah Phelan, from FluidArts ... we eventually did get our nonprofit status but we didn't get funding!) I actually posted Sweatshops & Butterflies" up as a resource in "Coming Together To Protect the Educational Commons"...
I also actually higlighted Patriensa in my MA project on role of ICTs in addressing global digital divide in Africa! http://www.fluidarts.org/babel/africap.html Now, this is getting really exciting! |

Michael,
You might want to keep up wit the WE Suggestions page http://www.wiserearth.org/group/suggestions and let us know if you are interested in participating in discussion we are engaged in in WE Governance regarding prioritiziing rights & privledges of WE community as well as Area of Focus Stewards ... You can probably locate these groups on your own... let me know if you need help. |

Honore and boatsie -- thanks for your responses -- I'll heed your thoughts and check out the Suggestions group.
Deborah, of course I remember FluidArts. I'm sure you're still making good things happen in the world, one way or another. It's not the form, it's the heart. Glad you were able to make use of some of the lessons learned in Greenstar's ongoing adventure. I do recall the reference to delivering source code to SourceForge in March, I know software always takes longer than expected and the last 1% takes 10x longer than the first 99%. Tell the geeks to take their time, get it right, release when ready. |

For several reasons I'd like to host a couple of sites I help run on WISER, as preferable to other open-source CMS like Drupal. It would be so kewl if each new instance of WISER had built-in hooks to optionally communicate/syndicate with each other -- ie., users, data, links from the mother ship could be automagically updated to new instances of WISER and vice-versa. Chunks could be shared/unshared as needed, by users or admins. A sort of OpenID and more, for wiser people.
Is this in the thinking path somewhere?
