User:Dave Menninger

Hello,

I'm Dave Menninger. I'm interested in contributing to the documentation of the project.

I'd especially like to work on Templates and Categorization.

The tool that I've found to be invaluable in this regard is Semantic MediaWiki.

If there is anything else I can do to help, let me know.

The GVCS is the preparatory step for the OSE Village Experiment - a 2 year, immersion experiment (2013-2014) for testing whether a real, thriving, modern-day prototype community of 200 people can be built on 200 acres using local resources and open access to information? We are looking for approximately 200 people to fill a diverse array of roles, according to the Social Contract that is being developed. This may be the boldest social experiment on earth - a pioneering community whose goal is to extend the index of possibilities regarding harmonious existence of humans, ecology, and technology - as a beacon of light to benefit of all people on Earth.
