Thanks for this Lee. It seems interesting.

Just as a point of modality for engagement, what, we, or precisely I, 
find problematic about some of the deliberations is that arguments 
evolve and that sometimes a narrative is built from our views that 
forces us back time and time again to first principles, rehashing 
arguments, and countering more innovative ones to debunk ours. This is 
fine and dandy. The problem is that other narratives do not face this 
same test of rigour, leaving us at a considerable disadvantage. So this 
looks very useful - and in some ways is determined by the technology 
itself which is fairly decentred for users - and engagement will be 
great. However it cannot replace the need for deepening from our Third 
World perspective - for our own sakes, as well as noting that much of 
the progressives in the North (not for want of trying) are not up for 
the challenge to meet the protection of their own standards. So it is 
complicated... but great initiative, lets hope we all can play with you 
all...
