As we're getting ready to publish this second volume, we're looking forward to having a place for folks to talk about what they are thinking and hearing and seeing in terms of responses on blogs, articles … anything. I'll keep an eye open for conversations here to see if I can help facilitate the discussion.

Wikiklesia Volume TWO

Thu, 19 Jul 2007 04:12:16 +0000

Wikiklesia is an experiment in self-organizing community. Len and I started this, but once the first book project is well underway, it's time for another pair (trio?) of editors to begin a new project. If you have a passion for Volume Two, please contact us.

We're seeking a long-term sustainable format for the Wikiklesia Project. The original idea was that each book's editors would select the next book's editors, and so on. I think for a while, we'll all need to make this up as we go along. A clear, organic, shared/participatory process will emerge over time. But only with input from the Wikiklesia community.

Your thoughts?

Decentralized Decision Making

Tue, 10 Jul 2007 04:50:37 +0000

I just happened to check in at Alan's blog (to share our launch date)…and this thread's first comment was directed to me! And Alan is right…this is very much a part of what I have in mind for the organic, meta-church planting movement I've been working on for the past 18 months…

But the implications for what we've been doing, and what we want to continue doing with the Wikiklesia Project are huge. The collaboration that's been described in many of the chapters is very "swarmy" and I don't mean "smarmy"! But there are deeper and more subtle levels of the "simple" and "uncomplicated" communication happening…and I'm looking forward to pondering it some more.

I would love to ponder this here with anyone else in a pondering mood. As if you all don't have anything else to do…I know I'm just eating bon bons and watching soaps (NOT ;) ) — when I'm not working on our book, that is!

Peggy has listed all chapter titles here. These can be used for promotional pages, etc..

Peggy, for those who haven't been paying attention, is taking your text files and formatting them into our e-book. It's a big job - please give Peggy a big virtual hug when you get a chance.
