CADRe Community Development: the "Wiki" Group

Participants: Lisa C. Bourget, James L. Creighton, Ane D. Deister, Eric Hagen, Jordan Henk, Stacy Langsdale, Tarla Rai Peterson, Jerry Delli Priscoli, Vince Tidwell, Dan Rodrigo, Kurt Stephenson, Jessica Thompson, Bill Werick (convener)      

In 2 months:

  • Proceedings
  • An edition of Jerry’s journal announcing the wiki
  • A report on the “church” and the site
  • A name for the collection of professionals we are
  • A mailing list with organizations listed for each name
  • Ideas for the next meeting of the clan
  • A presentation at the next World Water Council?  International Water Association?
  • Outreach to other conferences (ASCE, AWRA) to let them know we exist
  • A Business Plan for the wiki/church

Elements of the Wiki:

  • Papers
  • List serve questions
  • Primers (1 page, 5 page, a manual of practice (guidelines to practice)
  • Bill Werick temporary editor-in-chief
  • Editorial Board restricts input
  • Free comment space
  • Story of the day drawn at random
  • Map of the world showing where shared vision planning is being done
  • Examples of clever visualizations used to improve understanding, communication
  • Short (U-Tube) videos by practitioners
  • A “model” corner for software, completed models
  • A Glossary
  • Links to other professional societies

Wiki users would include practitioners, academia (could be used to develop undergraduate or masters classes).  Student input could make site more inviting.  National contests?
