I'm considering making a wikimedia site for this AGI group, but I am also considering a collaborative online mindmap. A mindmap can become very large, and the branching would provide the kind of overview of the whole structure of content (assuming a ton of content will be created or added) that would just be kind of invisible in a wikimedia site, except of course for special pages that basically outline the contents, but those have to be created post hoc, whereas with a mindmap the structure of the content available would be apparent immediately. Then the email list would be a notice and a log of new content. An online collaborative mindmap would also be easier, faster, and just as useful. However with wikimedia there is a log of who edited what and when. So without wikimedia we have to be responsible for adding a note to the log, and sending it out.
Example of log file addition, and email for new additions/edits November 20th, 2012 New content added to note, you know the website -> http:// .com /agimindmap see the map name, node structure, and note in the last topic "consciousness" agimindmap/categorytheory/grothendeick/atomicconcepts/invariancethresholds/consciousness Please research available mindmap and or wiki-type options if you like either idea. There are many options available.
