Working Groups



This page is still in progress as we're just getting the site up and running.

Look here for announcements about the formation of Working Groups for particular projects of tasks, or links to those groups; alternatively check the Forums for word on what's happening - should be starting up for real in June.


ANNOUNCEMENT: EXPLORATION OF AN ALTERNATIVE NEWS SITE - RealNews

One of the serious problems of current culture is that the entire way that news is structured is hugely biased toward the sensational, in that it is always 'breaking' news that is considered crucial or important. The long term, the slow-building problem (frog in slowly boiling water: that's us!), the sources of current problems that are in the past - none of these are addressed, and humans have no way to assess the fruits of their strategies over the long term, in any meaningful way.

So - we're interested in doing news that is deeper, provides context, could help us actually understand what is happening in the world rather than overwhelming us with information we can't do anything with. We're in discussions with a few journalist friends who are interested, but we haven't gotten much further than discussing it as of now - first was getting the main project going!

Check for a few notes at RealNews.net

However, that's on its way... if you're interested,please email us at globaldialog@mail.com.

All the best!
