- Sebastien Paquet: [group-forming] group-forming notification for 2002/11/24 - 07:00 (fwd): Hi there, I thought I'd forward a recent content notification from our Drupal site just in case it might spark the interest of people who haven't come over recently. A week ago I posted a little summary of where we'd been in the previous week. |

|
- Sebastien Paquet: [group-forming] email notification: Eric, Neither Elijah or I see the link you're talking about. Perhaps it's a template issue? I'm using the "group-forming" template. |

|
|
- elijah wright: [group-forming] email notification: [...] i'm not seeing that link. any ideas why? |
|
|
|
- Eric Hanson: [group-forming] email notification: Drupal has a neat email notification feature. For those who prefer email, you can setup your account on the group-forming blog (aquameta.com/gf/drupal) to send you notification of what's going on with the group. |
|
|
|
- Sebastien Paquet: [group-forming] Our first migration has begun: I believe our Drupal system is quite up to speed now, and I'd like to officially invite everyone to move over there and introduce themselves in a personal blog post. The site is at http://www. |

- vrtprj.com: [group-forming] Thoughts on emergent groups, mapping affinity, and k5: [...] I think Evans idea to use pathways and clusters for navigation and group forming is very interesting. |

- Eric Hanson: [group-forming] drupal install: [...] Ok, now all users have permission to mess with the taxonomies. http: |

- vrtprj.com: [group-forming] drupal install: [...] the last time I tried Drupal one was able to define multiple taxonomies (category collections) + synonymes and various attributes (flat - hierarchical, single vs. |

|
- evan@protest.net: [group-forming] Thoughts on emergent groups, mapping affinity, and k5: Sorry for not responding to some of the other threads, but this popped in to my head and it seemed relevant to thinking about online group forming. One of the problems which has faced the kind of pre-setup group forming systems such as firefly and other preference profilers is that you've got [... |

|
|
- Sebastien Paquet: [group-forming] drupal install: [...] I have a (perhaps ill-founded) concern about the way we're heading with this. Categorization is tricky and changes as knowledge is created. |
|
|
|
- Laston: [group-forming] drupal install: Apologies if I'm not following the correct format here, or if I'm adressing something already covered, I'm very new to email lists.... but if the idea is to create multiple discussions without narrowing the focus by imposing arbitrary categories, then why not let the readers and reviewers vote on [...] |
|
|
|
- Eric Hanson: [group-forming] drupal install: [...] This is a pretty expansive topic area, that's for sure. And I agree it's too soon for rigid categories. |

- Phillip Pearson: [group-forming] drupal install: [...] You're welcome to ... although it looks like my web host (sevaa. |
|
|
|
- Sebastien Paquet: [group-forming] drupal install: [...] By this I mean that if we are going to predefine a relatively rigid category scheme (I'm thinking kuro5hin style here), then we might well be shooting ourselves in the foot because our fundamental discussions have only just started so that the meaning of category names won't be clear and [...] |
|
|
|
- Eric Hanson: [group-forming] drupal install: The drupal install was a snap, but to make the migration, we need to define a set of core topics/ideas/goal to organize our discussion in. I'm working on a first draft, any suggestions are welcome. Eric |

|
- vrtprj.com: [group-forming] purpose: [...] Unfortunately Ian didn't follow up with fatherly creativity, but his warning about too general purposes is valid. |
|
|
|
- Eric Hanson: [group-forming] purpose: [...] Yep, believing that all non-profs are going to work together is a very idealistic and I would say naive view of how the world works. We're never going to solve the "problem" of selfishness, and I'm not sure it's such a bad thing anyway. |
|

|
- Sebastien Paquet: [group-forming] purpose: [...] Upon thinking about it for a while, I have come to suspect that everyone _does_ act on what they truly believe in at the moment of the act. [... |

- Ian Glendinning (psybertron): [group-forming] purpose: I'm not sure the original statement by Rainer is much more than motherhood, but I see absolutely no value in having a "purpose" which includes destructve objectives. That said I don't believe we need exclude "interest" in destructive behaviours either as means to creative ends or as potential ends to be understood and mitigated. Ian Glendinning[... |

- Lucas Gonze: [group-forming] purpose: [...] Mobs are collaborative but not generally positive. I personally would sign something that said "we the undersigned believe in the interestingness of collaboration. |
