| - The Cooperation Project, a collaboration between the Institute for the Future and Howard Rheingold, proposes to catalyze an interdisciplinary study of cooperation and collective action. We do this by compiling and synthesizing current knowledge, mapping the outlines of the emerging field, convening meetings of the best minds in relevant disciplines, and encouraging ongoing discourse, research, and practice.
* add something to this about the involvement of an open, volunteer collective (the list) aimed at sharing, exchanging and building knowledge (i.e. the commons).

* add something to this about the involvement of an open, volunteer collective (the list) aimed at sharing, exchanging and building knowledge (i.e. the commons). Draft revision The Cooperation Project, a collaboration between the Institute for the Future, Howard Rheingold and an open, volunteer collective proposes to catalyze an interdisciplinary study of cooperation and collective action. We do this by exchanging, synthesizing and compiling current knowledge, mapping the outlines of the emerging field, convening meetings of the best minds in relevant disciplines, and encouraging ongoing discourse, research, and practice.
* The Cooperation Project is nothing official. It's an umbrella name for efforts I've tried to get started around understanding and applying cooperation theory. Andrea Saveri has been my partner in trying to get funding, do research, publish findings, teach courses, convene workshops, and Institute for the Future has funded much of that. At present we have no funding through IFTF. Nobody "owns" the project in any legal sense, although IFTF and I are free to use it in any way we see fit, and of course we have made our material freely available online. The Google Group and the website were started as a seed for a community of interest. Where it goes from here is up to us.
* we do need explanations of the Google Group and how to blog.
