May be of interest... ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Larry Sanger <sanger-lists(a)citizendium.org> Date: Oct 3, 2007 2:59 PM Subject: [Citizendium-l] SharedKnowing: invitation to join a new discussion list To: CZ Main <citizendium-l(a)lists.purdue.edu> PLEASE POST AS WIDELY AS POSSIBLE ON MAILING LISTS, FORUMS, BLOGS...THIS WILL PROBABLY BE OF INTEREST TO MANY. Dear All, I'd like to invite you to join an old-fashioned discussion list, SharedKnowledge: http://tinyurl.com/2cqwm3 This unmoderated (or semi-moderated) list will be devoted to well-reasoned, polite discussion and announcements about the nature of online knowledge production communities. It is open to everyone. I hope it might become a central clearing-house of general information and free, open, yet polite discussion about a cluster of issues that are of great interest to many people, and of growing importance to society at large. See http://tinyurl.com/2cqwm3 for more info. There, I have explained: * Purpose of the list * How to subscribe and unsubscribe * How to post * When will the discussion start? * Who should join * Core and example questions * Relevant and irrelevant Internet communities/websites * Other encouraged posts * Subjects that will be deemed off-topic * List rules * List Management To give people time to arrive, discussion will start in a few weeks. I'm starting this list for several reasons. First, as a scholar (of sorts) and project organizer, I have an active, practical interest in these topics. Second, as I write and prepare speeches (something I'm doing a lot these days), I would like to have a big group of knowledgeable, like-minded friends to bounce ideas off of. Finally, quite honestly, I miss good old-fashioned discussion lists. Back in the 90s, I ran several, and one of them, ASP-Disc, was really great. I'd like to replicate that sort of lively community. Again, please post this message as widely as possible! Regards Larry Sanger ----- Lawrence M.
