Double Dogfood

enabling two or more projects to feed each other

• TikiWiki is a huge, venerable and popular OpenSource project
• Like Au it is currently asking how best to manage itself
• Recent discussion (see tikiwiki-devel mail list) therefore shows some common issues
• A participant-oriented way to ask this is "How could I organise myself better in order to enhance the project?"
• Au and its projects (e.g. m21) straddle OpenSource and OpenDesign approaches
• See Michael Pilling's term ad-hocracy? (or indeed "the do-ocracy" as it now seems to be being called) and MacDonough's term Cradle-to-Cradle?
• As Au will offer services to other organisations it needs CaseStudies? to help it play its part better.
• Perhaps a BioMemetic? approach would be beneficial (au.o page 1 )
• If you can think of a better approach Jonny may be able to translate it into wiki code.
• The shared dog food will be the code that facilitates the tools we use in Au
• If these tools make Au work better we will begin to create a VirtuousCircle?
