There already is a wiki and the ability to create new sub-wikis at
will, though it needs a lot more work (both content, and also to
make it easier to use, eg. enabling the visual editor). It is at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://bestbits.net/wiki/main/">http://bestbits.net/wiki/main/</a>, and is also linked under "Documents"
on the main Best Bits website. Currently anyone can create and edit
content there without permission (if abuse becomes a problem, we
will address it). Meanwhile as JFC Morfin has been reminding us he
has also set up an independent wiki about the summit.<br>

<br>
Agreed.<br>

<div>What Carlos proposes demands a lot of work and focus, and

<div>This idea would also work for the working-groups formed at

As a first step, I have already committed to putting together a
workplan, which pulls together the work streams from the Bali
meeting, plus what is needed for the Brazil summit and 1net. Sorry
for my delay in doing that, being really overstretched with various
other projects. It will help me if those who have been working on
such items but who haven't been reporting back, could do so, so that
I can map what is going on.<br>
<br>
I would also like to make something more visual, which could perhaps
be based on the "Visualising the playing field" timeline by Deborah,
Lea and Joana (which we have all agreed was excellent). An
impediment to this for now is that there is no funding to support
this, but I'm working on that also.<br>
