one version of this one-pager already exists for a year now,
at http://www.openspacesworld.org/openspace.html

the address above contains text that is appropriate for a
corporate audience, also a number of people have used the
longer 'guided tour' article at http://www.openspaceworld.org/stories/guidedtour.html

http://www.openspaceworld.org has been built to be just this
kind of portal AND...

everyone with access to the web is already and has been for
one year able to post almost anything they think would be
useful to others, practitioners old and brand new, at the
website.  the site is totally open.  it's only bounded by
responsibility.  if you have published three articles,
kerry, and i assume they're also posted on your website,
then you can post links and descriptions to them at the
openspaceworld.org site.  also, any stories, long or short
can be posted in sections dedicated to all kinds of
different corporate and other kinds of settings.  i do
believe that we have much of the technology that we're
talking about, what we need is to put some more topics up on
the cyber wall, i think.  http://www.openspaceworld.org is
not mine, it is ours.  what do you want to post there?
