Speaking of Todo lists, have you heard of the 43 folders wiki http://wiki.43folders.com/ ? Many of the people there use the term “next action” (rather than TodoNext).

I wish someone had told me about that wiki a long time ago.

Oh, 43 folders, I don’t hang out in the wiki much, but as any self-respecting GettingThingsDone -cultist, I read the blog.

(Oh and yeah, I have a Todolist / next action list on a wiki on my office computer)

(I realize we are merging off-topic here 😝)

You are welcome.

I like the project map at http://cotor.org/map/ . Perhaps I should make one for my projects, even though my projects seem less coordinated.

Is this a good place to comment on that map?

How could I help you on these 2 projects?:

• n2er.net: load-balanced decentralized PeerToPeer network
  • I want to build a fault-tolerant wiki ( WikiFeatures:FailSafeWiki ). I suspect the only way to do that is to build a DecentralizedWiki ( DistributingWiki ? ). If n2er.net already existed, it would make building such a wiki much simpler. Does it make any sense to build a decentralized wiki first, before implementing any of the other wonderful features people imagine such a network includes? (A wiki doesn’t need anonymity, or encryption, or protection against people editing files, or digital signatures, or …). Would it make any sense to implement the remaining features “on top of” a distributed wiki, or is that a Wiki:AbstractionInversion ?
• PowerfulInput?
  • I want to build a wiki that allows people to collaborate on SVG graphics (Visual:VisuallyOrientedWiki?).
  • My understanding is that most of the complicated-looking equations you see in textbooks and research papers are typed in by people using “TeX?” markup. MediaWiki and Noosphere (any other WikiEngine(s) yet?) renders TeX? markup in the customary pretty equations.

Other people have already partially developed a few of the ideas on that map:

• allk.net: an overlay network to turn on “edit mode” for the entire web.
  • One can already make comments about every website on the internet at http://aboutus.org/ .
• OnlyIf commitments, ConsensusPolling:
  • The Pledgebank http://pledgebank.com/ seems pretty close to your vision.
  • Fundable http://fundable.org/
  • microPledge http://micropledge.com/
• Institute for Better Execution of Speculative Ideas: there are already several groups that already promote speculative ideas including:
  • the Foresight Institute
  • the Foresight Exchange (not to be confused with the Foresight Institute)
  • DARPA
  • HalfBakery
  • N’Guild http://nguild.org/
  • CommunityWiki

(I suspect my comment should really go over on http://cyberneticroadmap.org/ – feel free to move this note there.)
