YWAMKnowledgeBase talk:Building the KnowledgeBase Community


 * (We might be tempted to say their is a fourth level of "eldership" but that just might be too hierarchical - I prefer we keep things flat.)


 * At the same time, you defend the principle of meritocracy ... so we should more explicit here.--Pitpat 18:09, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Secondly, this goes into the same direction:


 * Set a target of users to form a core; we will probably experience what Wikipedia did in :::that a core group wrote a very large part of the project (Normal distribution curve?)

I would compare it to a boat: There are many kinds of people involved.
 * 1) Those who are waiving on the port, wishing farewell
 * 2) Those who travel with the boat, in order to get somewhere
 * 3) Those who make the boat move (e.g. mechanical engineer, but also a cook)
 * 4) Those who decide how the boat gets to destination

And the good news, that we need to communicate: At YWAM-KB, the borders between those "classes" of people are open. Everyone can become a captain or leave the ship.

(Because if you don't talk about 'eldership' at all, that could also mean that the leaders are not part of the community, strictly speaking. Many enterprises tried to start open source project, and then realized that "community" not only means "someone else will help me do my work", but "someone outside of the company will be part of the decision process".) --Pitpat 12:20, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
