Evolution by design

Hey @wanatani welcome on board.

that’s kinda the idea of openvillage as a network of houses where every “house” has its own space where they collaborate locally, I am not sure if discourse can offer a lot for managing events, news, and tasks but for discussions and collaborating on projects it works well. ( Currently under openvillage there is"houses" space this could be divided in the future to different categories such as Brussels, Kathmandu, Essaouira,…etc )

this helps the collaboration and skill sharing or even moneyless exchange economy such as paycoupons to be used globally acrosss local communities, while still having a solid local sub-community connected together via community connectors / managers/ coordinators.

but for having

The website will be by city/area with a well designed listing of profiles of people, communities and projects, calls to action, volunteering opportunities, propositions…

for this I guess a well designed website is obviously needed, and this platform could be used as the workspace. ( same as openvillage.edgeryders.eu and this platform)

may be @owen have more ideas about this from his learning process of having the online communication done via a website and a community platform
