<div>Dear Michael</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I suggested the possibility of creating accessible archives for
specific applications of Open Space, starting with education, which
grew into a wiki wiki initiative based on your work on interactive
sites. We now have an embryo<b> archive for education</b> which
can be visited by going to the following:</div>
<div><br></div>
<div
>http://www.openspaceworld.org/network/wiki.cgi?OpenSpaceinEducation</div
>
<div><br></div>
<div>Following this thinking, could we access archives on other
applications, such as healthcare, communities, voluntary
organizations/charities, government (central and local), politics &
democracy etc? What other subject areas would people suggest?
More importantly,<u> would people post their stories to designated
sites?</u></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The purpose of organizing around applications was twofold: it
promotes process credibility by allowing potential sponsors to see
what others have done and practitioners to learn from experiences of
other facilitators. Moreover, the interactivity of the wiki wiki
allows "dead" material to be brought back to life.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>This could be a very exciting innovation for our Open Space World
and particularly people using the OSLIST. As much of the OSLIST
material is very fleeting, it is reassuring to know that the archives
would remain available. </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I also feel this opportunity is very compatible with Harrison's
philosophy and shared by many others about giving the process to the
World. If the process is available to everyone and truly
"open", we should feel comfortable enriching it with our
experiences.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Thank you, Michael, for taking steps to bring the archives
alive. NOW, how do we access them? How about a simple
step-by-step procedure to tap into this rich resource?</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Cheers</div>
