When will people learn that to be open, you need to really be open ? They just introduced a project wiki, but again, they’ve rolled their own and it’s useless. Contrast that with Google Code’s sweet Subversion-integrated wiki. But first, of course, you must be “verified&# as a Kintera Connect partner.

November 28, 2006 Well, both in the process of learning about all of the very cool web 2.0 Wikis are another great collective to do list/project management tool, but they don’t integrate, either. And, of course, not everyone I work with is choosing the same to do list or project manager. Open for suggestions!

The bombings created confusion and as people were able to put details together for themselves, they did so in a way that others could learn and follow the developments. In 2009, for example, 2 trapped girls in Australia chose to post to facebook for help rather than dialing directly. More and more, now we can. http ://www.noula.ht/index.

I literally just rolled off the red-eye back from the 2009 Non Profit Technology Conference (NTC '09), and although I'm exhausted - both physically and mentally - I'm hopeful and excited about everything I heard and saw. This year I was fortunate enough to play a very active role at the conference.

What I’m most excited about is “networked learning&# – it is part peer learning, part content-delivery, and another part engaging people in the room and not in the room in conversation through the use of social media.

Since social media encompasses many different types of tools, and each tool has specific characteristics and a steep learning curve, a toolkit approach can quickly become overwhelming. Wikis are a perfect example of co-creation. However, some of us recognize that conversations are a mere stepping stone for co-creation.

I think we need to encourage museums to be more opportunistic—try lots of new things with relatively small investment of resources, knowing that most of them will fail and learning from those that succeed. One of the results is a report from the future CFM (on its ten-year anniversary!) Museums and Society 2019.
