The knowledge portal is the entry point to accessing different kinds of knowledge, to browse content or create new content. Our knowledge is divided into the following branches:

  • Best Practices ---> Roles
  • Procedures ---> Roles
  • Education ---> Channels
  • Documentation
  • Public (Website and sitemap)

Documentation

The following section is an overview of the Organic Design documentation project and concerns the goals the key public documents we are writing here, as well as how they relate to each other. If there was to be a "book of Organic Design", it would use these descriptive documents for its content.

The Project

The big picture of the work being done on Organic Design. These documents are an attempt to describe the current big picture (or global) situation and proposed solutions, whereby we have created our vision for a better world, the description of the task at hand from our perspective (or "Mission") and our statement of values, or the way in which we propose the work on the project be done.

  • The Good Future - Vision on the global level
  • About the project - Mission
  • Manifesto - Values
  • Platform Our ideas for a template network organisation, our one would be IT-oriented
  • Vision The vision for sanctuary, a day in the life of sanctuary
  • Sanctuary - Our notions of an ideal living environment, to be formed by larger platforms, mission and procedure for setting one up

Organic Design

This is our example of an organisation working on the project. We want to develop in the direction of making available the workings of this organisation as a generic template which can be used freely for the common good. In practise it is formed by a team of contributors and developers working together using web 2.0 collaboration technology to form a project team, with dynamic hierarchies.
