Sticking the actual coders at the bottom, strikes me as a great idea. We nearly have enough human devices built and assembled in Bangalore, that we will have a very wide base on which to build pyramids of social privilege. Let’s all try to avoid the word exploitation, or food chain.

In reply to Marvin Brown. hi marvin, this is an older article, so perhaps we can relaunch the debate now. Do you have any article or excerpt on civic platforms?

This is a great list. I would like to see more reflections about it. It seems to me that many of these models exist at the current time. So how are they interconnected? I would suggest that that the platform for making the connections is a civic platform.

A civic platform is constituted by conversations that are inclusive, deliberative, and disposed to action. Such conversations can occur in any of the different modalities, and provide bridges among all of them. Furthermore, a civic platform creates viable governing organizations that use the three strategies of persuasion, incentives, and regulation to move the whole system toward justice and sustainability.

What do you think about that?
