Summary[edit]
- Theme key
- Healthy, inclusive communities
- The augmented age
- A truly global movement
- The most trusted source of knowledge
- Engaging in the knowledge ecosystem
- Questions key
- What impact would we have on the world if we follow this theme?
- How important is this theme relative to the other 4 themes? Why?
- Focus requires tradeoffs. If we increase our effort in this area in the next 15 years, is there anything we’re doing today that we would need to stop doing?
- What else is important to add to this theme to make it stronger?
- Who else will be working in this area and how might we partner with them?
| Line | Theme (refer to key) | Question (refer to key) | Summary Statement | Keywords |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | A | 1 | we could be a repository for images around the world, and model how to show good metadata scholarship. Slowking4 | media repository |
| 2 | A | 2 | most important - culture eats strategy for breakfast. without a healthy community, you will not be able to implement other goals. Slowking4 | priority |
| 3 | A | 3 | we will have to give up being right all the time; we will have to give up biting people in an unhealthy way; we will have to give up exclusivity of "not invented here club". we will have to give up prioritizing vandal fighting and copyright wars. Slowking4 | cultural changes |
| 4 | A | 4 | a code of conduct; a standard of practice. Slowking4 | code of conduct |
| 5 | B | 1 | If our voices with the supports of reasonable knowledge can be assembled to a sea of our own, our expressions can be heard one day, which will contribute to the sustainability of globalized civilization in many channels. Jason M. C., Han | civilization |
| 6 | B | 4 | redesign the interaction with the site; the barrier to participation is just too high. Downtowngal | design |
| 7 | C | 4 | There is an important connection between this theme and "The Augmented Age" theme, namely with regards to multi-language unification. As the technology of machine translation and understanding progresses it may well be possible to automatically compare those articles and provide tools that would allow volunteers who do not share a common language to collaborate in developing a consensus interlingual article. agr | machine understanding |
| 8 | C | 4 | The foundation should consult more on the community before doing some of the developments. i.e. ideas should come from community (IRC) | community |
| 9 | C | 4 | machine learning: statistical method does not solve everything. what you get is a false positive rate and a false negative rate, although by a lot of training they could be reduced to a tiny rate (IRC) | machine learning |
