An Open-Source Economy

What's New
Introductory Essay
While the Wiki Archive system is still in the process of being created, I thought I'd share the first of many pieces that this site will host. Hopefully this essay will help give you a more concrete idea of what I mean by 'open-source economy' - or perhaps it will confuse you more. Regardless, take the time to read it through and compile your thoughts on the points present and missing. By next week, the bazaar will be open! / Vijay Krishna Ramesh

Welcome to Open-Econ
As you can see, the site is in the process of being put up. The current plan is to have two main areas of user interaction - the Wiki Archives, and the forums. In the Wiki Archives you'll find collections of articles, all of which are 'works-in-progress.' Ideas develop as the community puts their input into them - dynamically and holistically. Don't be intimidated by 'difficult' topics - contribute where you have knowledge or interest, and learn more where you don't. The forums are for more dynamic discussion - ideally any major changes to the Wiki Archives would first be discussed and resolved here. As well, any new ideas, topics, or random threads that come up. Finally, the Mind-Maps - currently these are static. However, you can download the FreeMind software (GNU GPL, of course!) and edit any of the maps that appear on this site. Look for a special 'Mind-Map' section of the forum to work with others in building up these useful outlining tools. Hopefully I'll get around to creating an API for editing them online in the upcoming weeks, we shall see. Other than that, enjoy yourself and please let me know (via email or the forums) of any features/bugs/problems/suggestions/etc. / Vijay Krishna Ramesh
