When we started working on the food side of the Abbott Square project, it raised some basic questions about community inclusion. Our staff and community saw these questions differently from the start. So our whole staff went to visit another public market the developer had started: San Pedro Square Market in San Jose.

The big question everybody asks me is what I'm going to do differently. Our local paper, the San Jose Mercury News, did two great pieces on Benetech, a business section feature story and an exceptional column by Mike Cassidy entitled An Executive Does Well By Helping Others. But, I don't feel that way!

I used to work at The Tech Museum of Innovation in San Jose, CA. Here's my question for you: How do you perceive the difference between relevance of form and content? "Now" comes off as disingenuous and irrelevant if done wrong. And now is not tomorrow. It is not the long term. It is just now. This was impossible.

When I graduated in 2003, I moved out here to California and worked with the San Jose Museum of Art before getting a job with Linden Labs. I learned a lot from San Jose Art Museum. The best way to learn Second Life is to jump in and ask questions. That's what led me on the next phase of my adventure.

I read recently about an awesome project at the San Jose Museum of Art in 2001, Collecting Our Thoughts, in which visitors were invited to write the labels for an art exhibition (more another time). Sometimes there's a proferred question to answer mentally. Which made my mind go to a far more irreverent destination: Mad Libs.

I was captivated by Chris Alexander 's story about participatory online/onsite efforts at the San Jose Museum of Art (SJMA). I've struggled thinking about the answer to that question.

The San Jose Museum of Art has drastically changed its approach to security, replacing guards with visitor services staff who provide interpretation and monitor visitor actions in a less threatening manner. And that gets back to my friend’s question: Do museums really want this?

I've been arguing that "visitors as participants" means participating BOTH with content and with other visitors, but that begs the question: do visitors really want to have social experiences with each other?

But last week, I took a new job with The Tech Museum of Innovation in San Jose, working on a very different kind of project involving collaborative distributed exhibit design. All of this is sweeping many new questions into my mind. Ultimately, the biggest question in my mind is about value propositions.

I talked about using the design question: "How can visitors make this project better?" I asked them to think about how they could ask questions or share ideas in ways that would be as useful as possible to everyone in the room. The conversation worked and the questions kept coming because the answers were thoughtful and open.

Go to that link, and you will find a custom webpage featuring all of the assets you saved or made onsite. There are some obvious positives to this strategy.
