I’m almost ready to take the main website live. It’s very exciting! I am continuously amazed how long seemingly simple things take to accomplish well.
I think that the delays are good for me, however – the more people I talk to and the closer I get to going public, the more I am reminded that I do not have all the answers. My recent realization is that the currently critical component of this project is the creation of a community that is devoted to seeing this project through. This component is a little unique in that the community needs to be as all-inclusive of interested parties as possible. This means that my goal is rapidly becoming to establish the Open Forum Foundation as a framework within which the experts can discuss and create solutions.
Of course, I am offering Project One as the foundation for those solutions.
I am just struggling with email newsletter and blog post subscriptions. When that wraps up, I will take the WordPress portion of the site live.
In the meantime, I’ll continue to contact people in all the vital communities, get the legal foundation laid, and finish up the wiki so that it can go live when the time is right, also.
