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
