I call it my “ To Do, To Done, Don’t Do, Reflection List.” ” I use it for planning and goal setting as well as to reflect along the way. My colleague, Wendy Harman , was also inspired by Chris Brogan’s technique, but she takes it deeper and includes daily reflection questions.

There's a constant dialogue in participatory work about how to make peoples' contributions meaningful.

I was captivated by Chris Alexander 's story about participatory online/onsite efforts at the San Jose Museum of Art (SJMA).

The majority of the book is a tour of the conceptualized physical institution, with smaller sections devoted to the political history of the project and the activities (mostly participatory, distributed, and digital) that the team undertook from 2009-2011 to start building their constituency.

In short, it limits museums from being places that are trusted as institutions of public engagement and interaction--the places many museums claim they want to be. Museums aren't the only venues facing this question: news outlets, corporate brands, and educators are also grappling with the question of trust in the participatory age.
