Short Term Goals

Maarten Visser — Sat, 17 Sep 2005 18:14:00 GMT

I have been thinking about the next steps for this project and I have also tried to write them down in a ‘short and clear’ text...

THE GOAL

The current primary goal for this project is to build the first small parts that can realize our new Connected Future. In this Connected Future we will need a platform to share ideas, work together on common goals and make local, country or world wide (democratic) decisions in groups.

The short term goals for this project will be to create a couple of simple and open (web)applications. These applications could be seen as experiments, and can be used to learn about these new concepts. I am aware of the fact that I could never do this project on my own and that the project will need many insight from different people to become a success.

That’s why I invite everybody who would like to share any input to join a Yahoo group that I have started today. Using this tool we can setup the first direct communication channel between everybody who’s interested in this project and the related subjects.

You can go here to join the group

In the next month I would be great to try to visualize and build the first concepts on how to:

‘sync brainwaves and the chain of thoughts from people that share common goals or interests’, and
‘build democratic and creative idea gardens to collectively shape our future’.

I can't wait to hear about your ideas on these concepts!

All project goals can be found in the Lists Feed/Project Lists category.

Goals of this Project

Maarten Visser — Mon, 11 Jul 2005 01:35:00 GMT

This is a summary of the most important goals for this project:

To realize more useful and effective ways to collaborate, share and reflect on ideas that help us solve the problems in our world.

How can it be that often you didn’t hear about things that could be very important to you.
(The answer mostly is: You didn’t know it was there, you didn’t know where to look or didn’t how how it was named). A part of this problem is realized with web search.
How can it be that often a small group of people is working on projects where large groups of people can benefit from?

We have to stay ahead on 'computer power'. There are solid predictions that processor power will reach 'human brain power' as soon as 2020. And where shall webservices and grid computing take us? People have to keep up with computers..or..

Often people with good ideas have no time to realize them themselves. We need a good place where these projects can be designed by online brainstorming and managed by virtual teams.

Lists – Projects

These are three (sub) projects for realizig the ThinkGrid, where I see opportunities for today:

1. A Project to realize the Grid Thinking Interaction model (or Web Forum 2.0):

The platform is based on people, organisations and companies publishing RSS feeds
Mindmap structure treads to organize and navigate publications
Multi Format posts (the ability to easily add foto, video and document RSS Streams)
Real time Forums integration Live meetings, application sharing>
Skype meeting that automatically become podcast
Applications sharing that automatically become screencasts
Webservices and other transaction systems that synch to other systems
Use XML and AJAX for quick rendering of the updates in (list) pages (Realtime browser presentation)

Build interfaces and services on top of existing web solutions for online communities like Communityserver or PHP Forum.

2. A project for Building The gridThinking Integration model

The following things can be done on site, community or internet wide spectrum.

Realize design for integration with existing services

Fedration (like .Net Passport and Liberty alliance)
Integration with socials networks
Other interesting ways to integrate with existinge web services

Standards for RSS Integration in applications
- Combine a specific scope of feeds
- Reformat the merged feeds
- Reseach the posibilities with current and future OPML specifications (OPML 2.0)

Connect RSS Feeds
- Cluster Feeds on topic
- Cluster feeds on categories
- Cluster feeds on tags
- Cluster content (free text search algorithms)
- Slicing and Dicing and Datamining using unlimited models

Analyse RSS Feeds
- Monitor (trend analysis)
- Manage (change publication and subscription parameters)

3. A project to visualize The gridThinking network

RSS Lists to synch Grindthinking treads to the desktop
RSS extension to administer RSS on the desktop in general
Web and desktop applications to visualize and navigate true a RSS datastore
Integrating OPML and RSS in existing applications, like Grease monkey and Technoproxy or for Microsoft Office SmartTags in Office Documents).
