Hello all, We are building a community directory for the Open Knowledge Network — as we have planned for some time. We plan to build this community directory using our Discourse instance and to further consolidate some of our disparate community services there going forward.
Join the discussion here: https://discuss.okfn.org/t/creating-an-open-knowledge-community-directory/911 The directory’s purpose is to make it easier for people to discover and connect with others — whether that’s to collaborate on projects, share experiences or simply meet in person or online. In addition, we will be launching badging features on the forum for local and working groups, ambassadors, and fellows. This will give more visibility and recognition to our network groups and their members. Key features of the directory will include: - Rich public profiles — we want to know what information people want to share and see. - Private and public messaging — so community members can connect with each other - Group management features — which can be used for Local and Working Groups - Badging — to aid discovery and recognize group membership and community contribution We’ll be working on this over the next few weeks and we welcome suggestions and help as we implement and iterate. If you haven't done so already, it would be helpful if you created an account/user profile on the Discuss forum <https://discuss.okfn.org/> so you can be included in the directory from the get go. If you have an idea or question please either comment on the thread mentioned above or open a topic here in the Meta category about something you'd like to see <https://discuss.okfn.org/c/meta>.
