We have not even started chapter one and the complexities of the first few post shows what will happen if no leader is present - lots of discussion, very little action. This book will likely die as a discussion.

Point well made and actions are already in train by both Originating team and interested community members. I would encourage you and everyone else here to take a look at OVERVIEW and then click to read Community Proposal that summarises the way the book content is being developed.

As someone who has shown interest, I encourage you to find the area where you personally feel you can contribute and go for it!

It's awful quiet here...anyways, let me share my thoughts.

Many of the previous discussions seem to revolve around the question "what is a book?" Alll the talks about Structure, Format, Legality...etc. sounds like we're heading towards creating just another "book". I really hope that this project/experiment doesn't result in producing just another book. I think the whole point of this open forum format is to put less emphasis on authorship, and put more focus on the substance and the interaction that it creates. '
I know I'm being a little hypocritical here by talking about "the book" again, but I do wish that the community members here don't impose too many contraints on themselve at this stage of development.

I 'll start talking about my thoughts, ideas and experiences about building communities on my next post. Since I'm a recent member here, I think I have a lot of catching up to do.

It is awfully quiet, because we have been through a fairly long spell where we were re-engineering the website, to create the right functionality. (By the way - the changes were initiated by the community, who defined what was most critical).

We just invited (yesterday) a large group of people from Wharton to join the experiment, so we are in effect "restarting" very recently. Hope the volume of discussion grows over time.

Regards.

I have been 'out of the loop' for about two months. Just checking back where the things have got to and how much involvement has occured in the creative process since.;)
