What is Migiwe: that is the question.


Let's start at the beginning.

The utmost objective is to contribute to the development of a strong, sustainable, prosperous and dynamic free culture economy, an economy of free that could compete successfully with traditional economies.

How do we do that?

Build a community

Build a large enough community of supportive and contributing people.

Promote Free Culture

More and better. Free Culture as an inescapable phenomena in the global economy.

Promote Free Payment

This is the sinews of the war.

Encourage appropriate business practices

What are the best business practices to maximize the free culture economy?

  • Transparency
  • Free means of production
  • Nurture a community of true fans
    • Commitment
    • Sense of ownership
  • Free payment incentives
  • Terms, conditions and privacy: simplify or standardize: would give a competitive advantage

Promote non-monetary contributions

  • Take part in discussions (blogs, forums, etc)
  • Give your opinions
  • Get involve in communities
  • Give your knowledge
  • Give your skills (perform work)
  • Bug reporting: good one, nobody never talk about it and it would be a great asset for FLOSS. Teach FLOSS users how to report bug. FLOSS would improve over time much faster. That would give FLOSS another important competitive advantage over propriatary software.

Combat non-constructive or undesirable contributions

  • trolling
  • anonymity: this is a controversial subject: requires special attention

Not the first priority.

By what means?

Migiwe Community

  • Wiki - knowledge base and control center
  • Blog - SABD voice
  • Forum - community voice
  • Web site - public relation

The Migiwe Project

  • Open ended project to improve FPCF
  • Set a first target: 1% (phase 1?)
  • Project management via TODO in wiki

Manifesto? Philosophy?
