[FRIAM] THE WORLD QUESTION CENTER 2005

[Owen Densmore]

Interesting you point this out in the midst of a book discussion.

Why do I say that?  Well, Stephen and I (and others) have wondered a  
couple of times how we should "steer" FRIAM and the mail list.  Just  
stay with a list as it is?  Augment it with a Wiki or community  
blog?  Have a couple of specialized sub-lists?  (An example of a sub- 
list is WedTech, just a local bunch of folks who can meet on  
Wednesday noon for lunch and a complexity chat).  Projects?  (Nick's  
MOTH model and analysis is an example.)  .. and now possibly a book?

The Edge
   http://www.edge.org/
certainly does supply an interesting direction for FRIAM in terms of  
a web site with a bit more structure.  Its is "moderated" by  
Brockman, a very creative publisher and editor.

Not that the list would disappear, but it would have interesting  
parallel efforts.
