Hi Brent & Adeel, Brent - imo you're not 'rambling'. it seems you're engaging in good faith, the best you can, and i'm learning from it... with thanks. I note: - https://medium.com/webcivics/the-semantic-inforg-the-human-centric-web-reality-check-tech-50e2fa124ed4 - https://medium.com/webcivics/au-cyber-infrastructure-ai-semantics-3968a60e6888 as two of the many 'socially encrypted' documents i've written, linked, to my notion of 'human identity' as is required for 'good' from my perspective. Its a great deal different to, an identifier alone.

Young, i was good with computers, so i was supported by various families and their friends, in an affluent part of AU (whilst caring at times for people about my age then, young people, in the worst parts of town); whereby the families provided me opportunities, as i made so many mistakes. So, i went to lectures for behavioural science, philosophy and other diciplines without being able to enroll. I had jobs in computer stores, fixing computers at the homes of executives, or businesses - mid to late 90's. i ran the 'dial up internet' stuff; where i ended-up building the PCs to get the sales out the door, going to set them up for customers; had customers, like the medical board of Victoria, where i installed and supported the board members (like judges for medical malpractice) learn how to use computers... figure out problems, etc. later i wanted a PC that worked on my TV, and as i'd worked for a PC hardware distributor, I went about building one; making a spec, then seeking to do my first start-up. This led to alot of work, building upon my 'ibank' concept ( http://webcivics.org/iBank.html ) to focus on media ( http://webcivics.org/Basedrive.html ); i worked with leaders, very young, but later found it to be important to go build a business incubator for homeless youth to figure out how to get themselves / their lives, moving forward rather than being dependent upon social workers; which is why i was in the paper in 2004 (the headline in another article said '8m goes to youth'). point of the story is; recognition of prior learning has never been very good. I was doing / helping to 'invent' 'video on demand' and related systems, long-before there was a university course for it. This is similar for many other things i've been involved with overtime; and once they become a 'thing' HR people, look for 'qualifications' on CVs that honestly shouldn't exist prior to latter parts of the innovation cycle ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusion_of_innovations ) similarly and recently; its been the same with 'educational credentials' alongside other aspects. so the point here is - one of the things I really wanted to 'get done' was a means to better assess a persons skills; and thereafter, better append to the gaps that likely exist, if they didn't learn those skills via expensive institutional education schemes. "Professionalization <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professionalization>" as you put it - can act to 'lock-out' the innovators of a thing, because, they made it and others commercialised courseware around it; notwithstanding a linked problem, in that people who go commit their time / lives towards a particular task, don't necessarily get an understanding (or education) of all the various elements linked to standardised educational material / qualifications. I think, engineering groups are seeking to professionalise software development and related fields as to be provided 'engineers certifications' - linked to insurance cover, etc. not sure that's good. Indeed, i think this will become an emerging problem within the domain of 'AI' as they understand what that concept means, for them ($$$). SO, the underlying hope of ensuring people can understand what people did when, how, to what effect, etc. that seemingly isn't progressed as much as i'd hoped. this complicates situations where the documentation level (ie: in 'free work' communities) is poorly defined, as a result of people attempting to provide some care for themselves in seeking to be elected for funding / support, to bring good work to marketable (and profitable) outcomes. NB: - https://medium.com/webcivics/skills-social-activities-2124e52bd877 - https://medium.com/webcivics/universitas-doctrina-et-sapientiae-47ed33d91dc2 >> >> I'm all for an egalitarian culture where you don't have to be employed by >> X, or certified by Y to get recognition for a good idea.

Quick point; the underlying context is to look at, what i'd call, causality; and to do so through the lens of commercial or 'work' activities (nb: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight-hour_day - therein, not recreation or sleep); as to better understand, for various socioeconomic reasons - the real-world 'cost' of things... / outcomes... Therein - there are various distinctions and complexities. I think this is a complex thing to do, and i'm very much interested in progressing works in this field with a group of willing contributors, unto particular rules about human dignity, moral economy, etc. i previously started on summary doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Oie2eEzb2MTJ1drqFzAv2hsmrDCkTisZGRXUT7o9pEY/edit?usp=sharing BRD: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1H6IOYUm5n2_-VsVjwoC9RZDkymVJZRyzqpsZ1ja20vM/edit?usp=sharing *and an array of others over sometime (earliest work, probably about 2005? but most done since 2010).* *Permissive Commons* *- *https://medium.com/webcivics/permissioned-commons-7fc33a1ce23e *- *https://medium.com/webcivics/tech-for-permissive-commons-c0961b77249e *Knowledge clouds* *- *https://medium.com/webcivics/knowledge-clouds-f3f5ef1990d9 I started hacking a UI Kit: https://webcivics.github.io/CooperativeProjects/ - But my whilst my HTML linked skills are ok, my NodeJS or Py or PHP skills, ain't any good. so need help, to make something useful; no one showed interest... (so far). there's other links; but, i think i've kinda overloaded the post enough already... so - if there's a project raised, on good ('human centric' terms) happy to get stuck into it. > >>> So, from measuring the productive output for review across the value >>> chain how would it equate to: >>> >>> Each-project could become a ledger in and of itself for accounting / double accounting purposes. there's an ontology, ideally grown to take into account various socio-economic considerations (minimum wage, agreements, terms, etc.) and a definition of what the project sets out to do. the project may allow for dual licensing (ie: creative commons + commercial), and may allow elements to be acquired (ie: icons, or whatever) for other projects; the underlying process is that there's a calc engine, that's figuring out the calcs and allowing others to go negotiate if required, to reduce calcs. rather than 'open source' (free / web-slavery at times) vs. commercial (pay in perpetuity); point was about creating a financial system a bit like a cap-table, where different groups may make different contributions at different stages (growth, etc.); and that, this may all be recorded as contractually binding expectations; often people, doing human rights stuff for example, just want to be paid; they don't want to necessarily tax the minds of all of humanity because they did an important thing, but they don't want to be sacrificed for having done it for the betterment of humanity, without consideration for their own human rights related needs; as such, lots of legals involved and stuff, that's not simply about 'coding' (or a lack of comprehension about corporate governance, politics, etc.) 1) contributor1 published some creative work as a commit (would the commit >>> in itself create the value or the push to master?) >>> >> Contributor makes something, might refer to other aspects; particularly therein - a mandate that says project requires this thing done (similar to project management software); agent does it, submits work, gets denied / accepted, etc. there's project managers who are involved in managing the ledger. some aspects may become useless overtime and become mute in terms of value, others may become instrumental when others claimed it was worthless; its not temporally defined in a similar way, at least not necessarily, to how these sorts of things are done now; due to, an ability to do tracking / #RealityCheckTech. But moreover; i guess, its a bit like IP licensing via 'api' (although, DLTs & RDF are v.different to traditional APIs. it is intended to support a form of knowledge fabric, which is different to purely information based BS. > 2) contributor2 publishes a bug to solve contributor1 creativework then >>> commits (how would that get tracked through the value chain?) >>> >> i think focus in this example is 'code' - but overall, yeah. they lodge a bug, they might say they can sort it out; it gets done, they submit it for review, not just code but also time/costs, etc. it gets accepted or rejected. licensing schemas have alot to do with it. i thought, that could be done via ontological concepts / frameworks; noting, differences in socio-economic ontological concepts between regions, world-wide; which in-turn, provides fodder for lawyers looking to maintain a wage. (although, only really useful once something starts making money; perhaps at that point, legacy issues may take it under, depending on whether its been made as part of a process linked to 'moral economy' or something else, people would prefer to remain hidden #RealityCheckTech). > 3) lead comes along and does a scheduled merge this causes a summary of >>> certs to be produced across the value chain (who gets the credit, because >>> in the merge commit it overrides every other contributor on the chain that >>> has previously had made a commit? >>> >> Curated by participants principally; imo, but i guess, there's different rules / schemas that could be applied organisationally, and those getting involved can decide whether or not they want to be involved. 4) how do you validate the distributed contributions from overriding merge >>> commits? >>> >> not just 'commits' but rather 'contributions'? overall - i think tasks would be allocated (melvin did alot of work on 'taskify' which i thought was an awesome piece of early work); there's got to be a curator, but if the curators make bad decisions, that'll still be evident in the graphs (in such a way, that could end-up with complaints taken to courts. #RealityCheckTech). > 5) when the full website product is produced for distribution will there >>> be 4 contributors tracked or 1 with the summary cert? >>> >> moreover in my modelling; the point was, taht you'd be storing your information and trusting a 'semantic agent' of a particular 'knowledge bank' that may have millions of customers (maintaining confidentiality consequentially, etc.); therein, we don't want monthly fees for storing our data, this would be a dangerous outcome for humanity; so, they way the 'knowledge banks' make money; is via knowledge related fudiciary services, like lawyers; who might go enquire with that company you went to see, who said 'we're doing it all, already' and a few months later release a product similar to the thing you presented to them (ie: under NDA); the 'knowledge bank' may then, make an enquiry on behalf of its customers, perhaps with other knowledge banks around the world; just to ask for the provenance of they're work they've got on file, just to show it was in-fact they're work, not something they decided to take without compensation from the parties who would ordinarily be harmed without means for lawful remedy - because, we don't use our systems today, to support democracy or the rights of citizens in that sort of way; which impacts, who it is we support to become our leaders. 6) how would you track work output from an unquantifiable work output like >>> training/mentoring contributors on the value chain, something that is >>> abstract like code review, proofreading someone's work vs something that is >>> quantifiable like writing code, documentation or writing an article? >>> >> Yup. by agreement is the really simple answer, but more broadly; this is something that would need to be worked through, and is enormously important. Similarly, are cases where people say they're contributing, but for no reason asked of them; spend enormous amounts of 'reported hours' doing research, that is seemingly unnecessary / unproductive. I've tested concepts many times over the years, there are various forms of exploits; that do need to be considered, developed upon, etc. Yet, fundamentally; whilst 'alliance' is an approach that has enormous merit (rather than duplicating / replicating other people's work, like we're in an industrial era factory); each project is thought of as a different ledger, etc. the owners / stewards of a project; do not necessarily need to incorporate a company together, manage shareholding; or even investment (ie: https://slicingpie.com/the-grunt-fund-calculator/ ) some people may really like the idea of a project, and like kick-starter; provide capital; which may mean people can be paid upfront, leading to a reduced benefit overtime if the project is outrageously successful. Part of the underlying problem i was trying to solve; was that, with 'Web Civics' work; IMO, we need a bunch of 'for humanity' work to be done, but those who do it should be paid to do it (not necessarily in perpetuity) and there needed to be some way to provide dignity for those who work so hard, to build infrastructure that is so critical to the provision of dignity for all others... Fundamentally; when people spend an enormous amount of time, or indeed any time at all, working on something that is good for humanity... the idea, that because they didn't focus on money; they're then able to be victimised without available legal remedy? that's a design, i think, distinguishes people from those who have a good heart. If you're doing good, putting your life on the line, doing what needs to be done to make something; that ends-up becoming part of the world in a really meaningful way... the least the least that should occur is to ensure that time is appropriately paid, as the alternative is called slavery, or far worse. yet, in my designs (not simple stuff); the underpinning concept was that there's this thing called a knowledge banking industry; and that industry is funded in connection to what people do in life (work). presently, there's minimal moral support in fields such as ICT. save, the kool aid factories and linked consumers.
