dave cormier :: Blog :: Looking for a partner for emerge presentation on postmodern knowledge node making

Ha. there's a title for ya. I've been working for much of the last year on the idea of creating knowledge nodes, using drupal, that represent a rhizomatic approach to knowledge. The idea is that the knowledge that is created there is a mix of dynamic/static content created in a public/private manner by a number of direct/indirectly involved folks. The goal of the knowledge node is to capitalize on the possibilities presented by sophisticated tagging/rss feeds to allow for a seemless creation of a shifting knowledge space which, at any given time, represents a fair representation of the knowledge available for a given field and, at another time, might in actuality BE something very different from a content perspective, but might still represent a fair representation of the knowledge available for a given field.

As per emerge conference (april 23rd - 25th) guidelines, I need someone from another project to partner with me on the presentation. I have no idea if anyone is currently doing this kind of work (although i remember some interesting tagging work from the January conference) but I would love to find a partner to present with. I'm more than willing to work with anyone anywhere on the spectrum... from "that's crazy talk" to "I have no idea what you're talking about" to, "umm... yes, but you might also want to think about it this way". Please leave comments here if you're interested! cheers...
