This is a placeholder entry... for personal reminding and,additionally-I suppose, a preannouncement of a klogging effort. (Technique re one's network of supporters when created .. ie. it might be helpful to get possible respondents on board from the beginning.)It's gone through several iterations at this point. Thus I end up wondering about the optimal 'seed entry' that would serve the hurried first purposes and yet activate a potential group of respondents at the same time. Links would help get attention but take time. Thus --- in thinking about activitating support I come up against the other concern.. not inflicting incoherence on readers who come back because the thoughts tendered were accessible. [Enough! hope I've put sufficient pieces in this entry to allow me to build more thorough pieces later]. Group forming [http://www.aquameta.com/gf] and Seb Paquet [http://radio.weblogs.com/0110772/] are natural respondents for pieces of this entry.

A number of ideas --only loosely related to each other -- which have to with Personal Knowledge Management or Klogging. One has to do with perspective... software, hardware, wetware. The other has to do with the provision of support for other's interaction with their own 'development' of knowledge. [11/13 -- have got to unpack this notion of support and point out that support opportunities will come in all sorts of packages. Perhaps most packages will not have "Please Help Me" stamped all over. The other notion to interweave in a later entry is that products that look finished can still be stepping stones given the right response/comment/question/criticism.]

Must spend some time putting group in context, too. That is, the small, temporary, problem-solving oriented group is but one sort of group. Others: a couple, a family, a localized community (village, town, city, etc), an organization, a nation-state. Such groups are at the core of the human experience: enhance the richness, humanity, effectiveness of group experience and we may just survive to see the 22nd century.

The piece above will link back to my focus on wetware (human and living experience, past, present and future) . When I stand back and think about it, putting aside my fascination with tools of all sorts -- even for their own sake, my deepest investment is in the preservation and extension of the web of life and of the human experience as part of that.
