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

have always correlated H+ with open source software and technologies,
this being the natural next step out of the many possible steps.

This reminds me of a related project I have had on the back burner for some
time. A while ago I worked on a design for an online collaborative system
designed to let transhumanists create an H+ 'tech graph'. The intent would be
to have something halfway between a wiki and an org chart that would attempt
to show which future developments depended on which others. If nothing else, I
hoped it would codify where folks disagree as to which developments would be
created when.
