Memex Working Group
Develop a "Community of Practice" that shares and cultivates behaviours of life enhancing knowledge tool use
Focus is Goals, Plans, and Tools, IN THAT ORDER
Introduction to Memex Working Group
- Develop a Medium to think through rather than speak through
- Create a directory of everyone's public knowledge gardens
- Research Memex use cases with a User Centered Design focus to be published with the Collective Memex
- Research, develop, and review Runsheets for various knowledge management use cases
- Imagine these run sheets as scientific experiments that can plug into people's lives like apps
The Thing (Idealized Memex)
How does one put all data they have personally generated into an single accessible API with RBAC(Role Based Access Control).
The Thing's Problem
Once all one's data is all easily queryable what do you do with it?
Ask yourself, What is data even for?
Introductions
