Transcriber Notes 2023-10-21

Ward and Thompson working together to create a set of tools for repeating "The Joyful Sandbox" as collaborative book creation edited from a set of Federated Wiki instances via tools, and tools supporting copy editing and accepting edits.

09:53:13 From Ward Cunningham http://ward.dojo.fed.wiki/how-we-wrote-that-book.html http://blog.ward.dojo.fed.wiki/view/welcome-visitors/view/think-and-write/view/draft-and-copyedit/view/mock-doc-copyedit/view/mock-doc-i#

The EIP model as a way to let citizens in a neighborhood visualize what governance structures and advocacy groups ("institutions") operate with relationship to subjects of interest for them, so that they know who is responsible and should be responsive to them.

ChatGPT used with a simple prompt to fill out the basic nesting eco-bio-physical and governance structures to start out an EIP diagram, examples of Superior, Arizona, USA and Bellingham, Washington, USA.

Marc's EIP model generalized to other contexts.

Robin Asby and the "House of Experts", how does that work across different levels of governance and different contexts of expertise?

Corrupt or confusing web search results, clarified by narrowing the domain using "site:"

Navigating from an EIP linear sequence to the other connected nodes, like the Supercollaborator shows.

Deno, a Javascript runtime which supports the Canvas API (headless canvas), and may be preferable to Node for various purposes. Ward describes the experience of working inside and outside the browser as a compatible one with his style, and considers HTML asset frame scripts running on the browser client and Deno-hosted services as a continuum from flexible prototype to robust service, with each side quickly iterated.

Understanding cost management and troubleshooting in different deployment contexts, PaaS versus datacenter, different skill sets needed when communicating inside and outside the org.

Edge computing and Kubernetes-style server management as bifurcating patterns of software development and deployment style.

Marc's experience with Omnigraffle-exported diagrams of EIP structures as displaying inconsistently on Google Chrome and Firefox, but correctly on Safari, possibly due to different implementations (shortcuts) taken by Chromium but not by Safari/Webkit, causing ambiguous resolution of SVG "defs" references when more than one Omnigraffle SVG is present on the page.

Sociotechnical problem solving when a problem exists across multiple layers of a software governance organization (a software-making and -deploying company), applying the EIP model to understand how the issues and the decision making contexts look to people who are trying to solve a problem or make a decision.
