Wikipedia and Open Space...the beginning of something bigger?

wow. that's quite a list, larry.
i've added them all to what was already there, from lisa the fabulous and
some others. fun to see elaine dixon's name in your list of dissertations.
she was at a chicago training some years ago.
not so long ago, we had identified only two or three papers. now that this
list is growing, i'll do something to make it more prominent. find a way to
put a link to it from the homepage.
here's the best page for research now...
http://www.openspaceworld.org/cgi/wiki.cgi?ResearchActivities
this is where the new homepage link will point.
the only thing missing from this page now is a proper reference for your
healthcare article. can you send that to me? you could post it yourself,
but it would take me longer to explain that than if i just paste it in what
you send.
there is also a page about the protocols you and peggy and chris developed
in 2005. you'll see a link to that at the top of the main research page.
you and peggy, i think, created that protocols page -- it's in the open,
public, wiki workspace at http://www.openspaceworld.NET ...in case you want
to use or update anything there. might the function of that page been taken
up well my the worldscape website now?
research is one of those things that we've been holding a space for, but
didn't have anythng to fill in there, until rather recently. so it might
take a little while to figure out the best way to manage and display and
link to that information, but at least now it's bigger on the radar.
many thanks,
m
