About me:
I've been pursuing the dream of computer supported collaborative sense making and deliberation since 1984, when I started working on a system called "Leonardo" in the MCC Software Technology Program. I met Horst Rittel at that time, recognized IBIS as powerful enough to capture software design rationale but simple enough to be used by mere mortals, and I've been doing whatever I could figure out to do to make the dream a reality since then.

    Hi Jeff,

    It was great to talk with you and the rest of the gsm gang at Berkeley. Since we are in the neighborhood I hope we get more opportunities to talk.

    Keep up the great work.

    Collaborative sense-making. I think I'm going to love the language and practice of this new network I just joined.

    Growing a Global Issue Base: An Issue-based Approach to Policy Deliberation -- I like what I read so far in the openning paragraph.

    I have a :) stake in transforming the use of the language "stakeholders", which came from community development where I've background, into something more collaborative, less ownership-laden (waking up our ever-vigilant egos) and more deeply collective in essence. What do you think?

    I wonder about going beyond knowledge eventually, and more approaching wisdom as a vision or outcome. Yes, I'm a writer, I split hairs. But our language reflects and affects our lives, so I'll keep on keeping on. Let's talk about it!
