Tilting At Windmills
August 31st, 2007I’m writing my first guest blog entry for Drum Major Institute. The working title is Katrina Fatigue Fatigue, where I’ll write about my recent attempts to address the people who ask “Why rebuild a city below sea level?” In fact, I feel as though I ought to create a question of that sort at thinknola.com and just perpetually have that argument out and get very good at making it.

Last year we had Jimmy Wales as a guest speaker in Budapest. He was talking about the wikia campaign (approx. using wiki for political decision making in the community), where he mentioned that wiki could be used for presenting the for’s and against’s of an important community issues. This whole New Orleans “thumb down -thumb up” question could be edited like a list on wiki, and that could be shown up as a permanent summary of answers.
That is something that I’d hoped to accomplish on recovery issues with the New Orleans Wiki. This particular post would be more of a tar pit for the dinosaurs that roam the Internet.
