Plenty of room, I think, to have these efforts advise each other, but without crosstalk/interference.
Yes, exactly, This more foundational set of patterns you’re describing remind me of how A Pattern Language is laid out, with more general, broad patterns earlier in the book. Seems like that’s in some way related to Alexander’s approach of using a pattern language to prescribe a ‘generative’ or ‘unfolding’ series of steps… working from pattern to detail, as permies say.
I must say that I find this part of the Spritely community highly refreshing as a counterpart to the deeply technical side where things feel less inclusive for those lacking the (academic) expertise.
Very inspiring this Social Framing and it gives focus to the areas where the technology will ultimately find its most furtile application and adoption.
Years of experience in community facilitation and management have provided insights, that we are elaborating right now in a concept called Prosperity Guilds. The TL;DR upon which this is based is that communities with broad scope and audience of people in grassroots movement do NOT work. At least not as productive Communities of Action. Prosperity Guilds is a formula for organization that is focused on providing intrinsic motivation and incentives to be active participants, and has Sustainability-at-all-times as most important objective next to pursuing mission and vision. The concept can be applied in addition to other forms of organization and governance, which it does not prescribe.
I’ll keep an eye on developments here, and will reach out where there’s furtile overlap.
Update: I notified Community-Square about this initiative, via their Matrix chat.
