Perfect Internet | |
Completing any ONE of the following would contribute perhaps a BILLION dollars to the cultural value of the Internet: | |
* Complete “creole” markup language for layout for all sites which allow collaboration (shared, meta-identity) | |
* Perfect voting model to handle all decetralized community discussion and decision-making (meritocracy) | |
* Micro-“bitcoin” monetary system of exchange for all virtual goods. (creative economy) | |
* Ontology and color/tag schema for all human knowledge (like the Library of Congress Subject Headings) (tree of knowledge) (color scheme is done at singularity project) | |
* data ecocsystem of universal objects + cyberspace visualization, (the +/-1) (See Singularity project combines all of these) | |
Freedombox | |
* Free p2p OS | |
* free internet using SDR | |
* universal data ecossytem for true commuity and application epicness | |
* modular, easy-to-find, commodity hardware | |
* ideally storable in a jacket pocket or have 6hrs battery life | |
Meritocracy: | |
* Each contribution gets tagged (from a standard tag ontology) | |
* Every user has a spammer/vandal tag, a respected user tag, a new-user tag, and a busy-user (many votes/posts/comments per hour). The fromer two starts at zero, while last starts from a pool gained from the way-up/down tax mentioend below. | |
* Each contribution gets a vote (up or down) | |
* Upon expressing the vote, a credit gets tallied in user who voted (without recording up or down) | |
* Each user gets a set of tags that they've been voted up or down upon. That is, if they've been voted on the topic Foo, they get the tag Foo plus the sum of votes for their posts with that tag. | |
* The total credits on a user from their voting adds to the post for way-up and way-down votes (divided by common tags, iow, if only 23% of their reputaion is in common with the post)?? | |
* Users can vote way-up or way-down which will add whatever they want from their reserve (the sum of times they've voted for others) to the vote count, subtracting it from their total. | |
* Comments don't get counted, but if you have a positive reputation, you can vote comments up, otherwise you can only flag them (abusive, vandalism, etc.) | |
* User's can distribute any counts on their respected user tag to modify their own tag reputation. Any votes on the spammer-vandal tag remove the count from their reserve. | |
* Tag rankings can be added together where they share the same branch higher up which means these should be part of an ontology, so that the highest level tag is calculated from the leaves (+ the rare case of a person ranked with the tag itself). | |
* Users with higher reputation on a tag (than the person who added the tag or post) can delete a listed tag on a post or add a new tag. | |
* The poster gets more votes counted when more tags are present, using some decreasing (harmonic) formula. 1x for the first 1.5x for the second, 1.666x for the third, etc. so that tags are kept to a mininum, yet more reward is given for ranked (taggers) users voting up? | |
* Users with more reputation than all of the tags (or just the ones that are moved) can re-arrange the order (sorting) of the tags. Badge: Knowledge organizer? Each re-arrangement puts a credit on the user (not their rep). This changes the vote on the harmonic vote-ranking. | |
Tag Ontology: | |
* A tree-like subject/content list covering every subject (person, place, thing, idea) | |
* start with te Llibrary of Congress subject headings | |
* standardized to 1 word or two hyphenated words. | |
* Useable | |
