VIAAC Wiki talk:Community Portal

This is the general discussion page for the wiki! New founders should leave a nice welcome message and encourage new visitors and editors to leave a note to get the conversation started.

I'd like to discuss how a VIAAC deals with negative social issues. I will start with the descrimination. My view is that economic unification and unilateral access to education will gradually bridge the gap between community sub-groups or individuals who descriminate, and those they are descriminating against. the problem exists though that there are multiple racial sects of the global society and entire populations of individuals who have been thoroughly indoctrinated into practicing structural violence

I have not used the term Racism as i believe it to be synonymous with structural violence.

Hi Pieter and folks. I've just been checking out the VIAAC a bit. I think this concept has huge potential. I haven't seen everything here yet but I'll get there sooner or later. I already have a lot of questions, suggestions, and comments, but no time to put'em all down at the moment. For now I'll just mention one thing - the ads are really distracting, and of course not really consistent with the goals of a VIAAC. I suggest migrating the wiki to a free host running open source code without ads, like this one:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ourproject.org

Which of course looks just like the wiki pages most people are familiar with, and thus may help incoming newbies feel more comfortable about diving in and participating.

That's it for now. Great project! Cheers,

Devon

Thanks Devon, I never noticed the ads before, since I use adblock edge on firefox, and absolutely nothing gets through. I checked out OurProject.org ... wasn't exactly sure how to go about moving everything across, could you assist with this?. In the mean time, I have switched the Wikia to a more traditional view (the ads should still be there though, unfortunately) so that maybe input can be improved while a proper wiki home is found.

Cheers Pieter

That new 'Power of Networks' video is brilliant. Would be great if you posted it over at Zeitgeist, too.

Oops, my bad. I thought the link I gave was to the Ourproject site, not the wiki *about* the Ourproject site. I'm now test driving Ourproject as a platform for writing up the incorporation docs for a cooperative I'm getting off the ground, so I'll have a better sense of it in coming days/weeks. First impressions incline me to think that one of the ad-free wiki hosts would be a more productive environment for VIAAC development.
