A worthy project and from what I have seen so far from Saul and others working on this it will be pretty flexible and open to change and constant improvement. Of course it has to work and start providing something for the fellows that use it and it will have to survive the initial enthusiasm that such tools generate.

My own experience is that online communities are so inspiring because of this. <BR/>What I have been reminded to consider is how valuable our face-to-face relationships are in building and strengthening communities.

My point is that someone will have to make decisions about issues of access, influence, control ... the architecture of the system and the collaboration process. So far RSA staff have made those decisions in the appointment and brief for Saul and Andy, and the design of the event on November 22.
