Dear Friends,
it is a great honor for me to be on this mailing list,
and I am learning alot just by listening and watching.
Now, I would like to make a simple suggestion :
Lets take this nice technology, extract the essence and
make the wikimedia better :
Look at change.org, the facebook "causes" and other things like
hubdub.com. They allow people to vote with their feet.
How about a simple voting technology for the mediawiki?
Of course with limitations to make those votes more valuable:
With the ability to make comments on those votes,
even put "credits" or "money" on them like bets (see hubdub.com) so
that they are valuable.
The ability to suspend them after a certain time so that they money
would be freed up.
The ability to give your vote to representative (mandates).
The ability to get votes by earning credits (good editiing)
If you had that, then you would
be able to collect reasoned and weighted judgements and then use that
to poll people for all types of issue. It would also bring more
quality and a new form of interaction.
People love to see their name with a number on it!
People could also vote on changes, vote on other people and it would
give the wikimedia a whole new layer of interaction.
thanks for listening,
mike
