[ExI] Transhumanist (Technical) Roadmap

[Brent Allsop]

I think the critical part of any such endeavor, would be a polling 
system. Many people will have different points of view about every 
little thing. I believe you have to be able to select a set of experts 
that you trust, and then see what the majority of them believe.  That 
will become your "Canon".  Once you get the individual parts "canonized" 
you can construct higher level position statements based on the 
"Canonized" details, and so on.

And that is precicely the goal of canonizer.com.  It is a wiki system 
and polling system combined.  And you can select which experts you 
trust, via a "canonizer" - then sort and filter things accordingly.  Not 
all of this is implemented yet, the small team of volunteers is working 
as fast as we can.

And you can include any kind of textual or graphical or html link 
structural relationship in the wiki text camp statements.
