Frank,
Let’s hope the ECW knowledge base can contribute to this. I think it would be
extremely valuable to have all these ideas and all this knowledge accessible
and searchable.
Actually, I believe that this is part of a new way of developing knowledge,
faster than what was ever possible before the internet, which will further
contribute to the well-known trend with inventions spreading over the world to
mass adoption at an ever increasing speed (compare automobiles, television,
mobile phones). Judging from technology history, LENR will reach mass adoption
faster than any earlier invention.

Mats,
I hope that in time the the ECW LENR Knowledge Base would be useful for the
kind of thing you are discussing. We certainly want to have information about
LENR engineering included.
The Wiki structure using MediaWiki software is familiar and quite flexible, and
allows for searching capabilities. It's not organized like a discussion forum
or email list, but there is the capability for discussion on every article on
the site in the talk section.
Right now there are just a very few people active in creating content -- and
we've only just started, so it's rather limited so far. I hope in time that
number of contributors will increase.
Anyone interesting in getting involved in editing the KB, please email me at
ecatwo...@gmail.commailto:ecatwo...@gmail.com, and I'll get you set up with
an account.
Best,
Frank

Good thoughts Rob.
I believe that the main challenge for LENR Cities will be to provide
substantial innovation of its own.
Experience from the IT industry tells us that in order to grow a successful
eco-system where talented people will contribute, you need to offer attractive
innovation for others to build upon, e.g. Windows, IOS/iPhone/iPad, Android
(the counter example is Nokia/Symbian that was not good enough).
Just to offer a network will not do, if you want to produce revenue from you
eco-system.
And even if you don’t plan for profit you need to offer innovation – e.g.
Wikipedia (the idea + the wiki tool), Linux (the Linux kernel by Torvalds et
al).
This would correspond to the part that you mention will be shared openly by
those who do not care about IP. Maybe enthusiasm could do initially, but sooner
or later you probably have to offer something substantial to build upon, to
attract people.
Yet, I think that the structures you suggest are spot-on, and the idea to look
at other community projects is good. 3D printers and drones are examples of
communities that are more loosely held together, and yet they have information
sharing.

Mats, some thoughts:
Maybe the guys from LENR-cities have some ideas. They promote an open IP
structure, although not well defined yet. I've asked for more details, but they
probably are lacking time in detailling this out for the moment.
Part of valuable ideas will probably be converted into patent applications as
well by individuals.
Those inventors may want to promote their ideas as soon as their ideas are
secured.
The other part will be shared openly by those who do not care about IP.
Collecting and stucturing ideas also require serious moderation to keep a
certain professional level.
I've been thinking of several places to moderate professional engineering ideas:
- meetup groups
- moderated LinkedIn groups
- dedicated e-mail reflectors
I see several sub-groups that handle following activities:
- a think tank that defines engeneering topics and brainstorms about solutions
- a review team that reviews proposed engineering ideas
- a feasibility team that is able to prototype (e.g. MFMP)
- F2F meetings in several regions.
Another approach:
Are there similar global cooperation projects that can be used to piggy back on?
- How is the 3D printing society organized?
- How is the Drone society organized?
- Cooperate with FabLabs that facilitate tooling?
- Other global cooperation activities that have usefull ways of working ?
Cheers,
Rob
