discussion item Comment (15) on Are We There Yet? (1) in Transition
I have no interest in hearing Pierre's statement OK, but I bet you are in the minority there (certainly among the 19,000 users, and among the 200 active ones, and I bet among the few dozens that you still might actually be able to poll). Anyway, ...

discussion item Comment (21) on Why did O.Net fail to survive ? (3) in Transition
I think where o-net failed it failed because it tried to be too general-- most people who are doing the real work are confused by a "this place is about everything" -- they don't see how it applies to them. I've been a big advocate of site improve...

discussion item Comment (37) on The end of omidyar.net: creating new communities (237) in Community - General
The issues that I believe are more important are: - Identifying the communities that do exist within O.net that seek a new home - Understanding the needs of these communities and the level of support they'd like - What can they achieve on their ...

discussion item Comment (10) on Violence Is a Mental Illness (819) in Peace Pages.
Here's something I wrote on that subject: Don't like gangs? Join one! Gangs are credited (or is it debited?) with most of the crime in our inner cities. But let's not forget that gangs also created baseball, basketball, hockey, soccer, and virtuall...

discussion item Comment (13) on The end of omidyar.net: creating new communities (237) in Community - General
While I have been disappointed in a major lack of interest in alleviating poverty in the U.S.A. via creating self-sufficiency communities -- and some overly long posts that do nothing but create conflict and disenchantment in all areas -- I will miss...

discussion item Comment (21) on Meta - Board Election Process (76) in Transition
perhaps single most important role of the "board" is to establish a legitimate "single point of contact" for the ON team to communicate with/through vis the needs of this network/collection of communities. to me, its "power" lies in its substantial r...

discussion item Comment (9) on The end of omidyar.net: creating new communities (237) in Community - General
Strange place (in Onet's life) to return to. The funny thing is that while I've been away I recommended this site to others on more than one occasion; it's even the reason I came back tonight, so that I could get some info on microfinancing and direc...

discussion item Comment (19) on Meta - Community Platform Options (110) in Transition
What happens will happen here and even an initial transition might not be forever. Maybe the first steps are temporary. I prefer the site in some form to transition to another non-profit or NGO. (in whole or part) Maybe like techsoup.org or some o...

discussion item Comment (8) on A Common Misperception? (12) in Community - General

discussion item Comment (15) on O-Net the Home Game (774) in Games for Social Good
This strikes me as exactly what money is - points we trade when we feel someone has contributed. You are basically suggesting a new "currency". Originally we traded chickens and cows and things with actual value. If someone did something good for you...

This was DEFINATELY NOT a good example of a good argument for advocating free speech. When looking back, it wasnt even about free speech, but rather anonymity, which most would argue it not the same thing at all. There was a free spech movement in t...
