Basic architecture
I wonder if the basic architecture of our site should be like the multilingual home page of www.wikipedia.org?

I like the idea of taking advantage of efficient examples. Wikipedia is one for me ;-)

Wait! I had a better idea, inspired by Google and "Don't Panic!" in the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy. It seems to me that people are looking to the NVC internet either for empathy or information. So perhaps we should simply have
(a) choose your language
(b) choose between EMPATHY or INFORMATION
(c) when you click through to either, you get a range of options signposted (Empathy hotline, EmpathyNow, trainers/supporters .... ) or (wiki, network etc)

Why not ? What I like with the Wikipedia-style approach is that we don't know in advance what the user group will choose. When we set up a wiki I see it a bit like a facilitator setting up a Restorative System. Users will then choose while using the wiki as a Restorative Circle, what action-plan they will want to put their energy in. Maybe Two big entries : EMPATHY and INFORMATION, or maybe something else ;-)
I like the idea that like in RS, one of the key initial feature is “shared power” (like in a wiki where everybody can edit pages), then wee don't know in advance where the collective intelligence of the group will lead its path.

Cooping with some difficulties
Here are some questions and answers about some difficulties.
Joining within limits
- Question - how's this
- Anybody wanting the join his forces to this project is welcome, within limits: we would ask that people take care before doing major edits and many edits, that they introduce themselves to the existing group HERE, and understand that they are initially accepted for a provisional month, during which time we would like them to demonstrate their ability to work peacefully and collaboratively, with give and take and care.
- -> Answer
- I guess Dominic's experience about how to include newcomers into a Restorative Circle will be very helpful ;-) Isn't it Dominic ? --Dieudonné 09:17, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
Wiki syntax
- Question - how can we …
- … create new paragraphs/pages for ongoing discussion, and can you/I create a paragraph to introduce the existing members of this group?
- -> Answer
-
- About how to create paragraphs/pages, you might find answers on the Help:Contents page (called Help in the left column).
- About your ability to create paragraphs : “code is law” ! If you can, why not ;-) --Dieudonné 09:17, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
- Question - about help
- is there a "how to use this wiki and how to add info/discussion" link?
- -> Answer
-
- About "how to use this wiki", see Help:Contents page
- About "how to add info/discussion" link, if you don't find the answer in the Help:Contents page, You can ask for it in the associated discussion tab :-) --Dieudonné 09:17, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
Follow edits
Hello Ray,
to help dialogue on this page it's very helpful to set a way to be advised when it has been edited by someone else.
Did you do find a way for this page ? By email or RSS ?
Did you find the button to sign your posts (
6th button in the editbar) ?

Other similar examples
Hello Ray,
since we had a chat on skype where we found example of common inspiring websites like :
I have a better view on your project. The spirit of it is for me very much in link with the tools we choose. Like this Gandhi's quote suggests :
- “La fin est dans les moyens comme l'arbre est dans la semence”
I guess this is the english version of this quote :
- “The means may be likened to a seed, the end to a tree; and there is just the same inviolable connection between the means and the end as there is between the seed and the tree.”
So this is why I feel not so good about advertising Facebook.
