Resources to enable collaboration

Challenges people face in creating resources that share ownership, enable contribution and support collaboration:

• Information architecture
• How to integrate structured data with unstructured (user generated) data
• Choosing a framework for the data already collected
• Buy-in/Trust
• Tech Hurdles
• Will it be: reliable, relevant, updated
• Language Barriers
• Lack of shared language/identity
• Incentivising Use/Participation
• Getting Buy-In/Time
• Sharing sensitive info across geography (need better collaboration tools)
• Energetic Sustainability (Beg = Yes! Let's do this" but then crickets)
• Unstructured collaboration (ppl in different places)
• Staff doesn't support networks well
• Keeping network members engaged
• Shared understanding of organisation of the things (ex: naming docs)
• How to create consensus within a group so we can move forward
• Keeping things current
• Time
• Organisations actual incentives don't encourage information sharing
• Getting knowledge from brains to resources

• How to get participation and feedback on the service • How to maintain service independent of ISP on mesh network
