OK, you have my arms, legs and mind… What is our next concrete step?
Hi Christina! 
As you may know, we had an extended ‘mind-meld’ telephone conversation with Mark on Saturday. The ‘tyranny’ post above is a direct result of that conversation. We want to start getting some NED Design Prepositions on the table that can drive our next concrete collaborative steps.
Although we haven’t firmed up plans specifically yet with Mark, we have an inkling that one immediate step we might take. We’d like to get directly involved with Mark in the design and development of the NED On-line prototype eCommerce web site he is working on to offer LiA crafts purchased from your WE Center folks not too long ago.
To back-fill the story of our readiness for this adventure, over the last several months we have had a contract development project that gave us an opportunity to dig deeply into Drupal, an Open Source content management platform. that has a unique and flexible eCommerce framework add-on. It is ideal for actively prototyping the story-driven and game-oriented ideas we have for Small Is Good World markets.
If we can work with Mark on this ‘front end’ aspect of the marketplace, then perhaps we can engage Toby Beresford of MicroAid.net to provide an opportunity identification, investment, and payment system that would tie Mark’s web store to your WE Center microenterprises.
If we were to ‘divide and conquer’ this agenda along the lines described here, we would be taking some Giant Steps toward birthing NED’s Small Is Good World entrepreneurial community ecosystem. Cool, eh! Just like we were talking about over beers in Oxford at the Skoll World Forum last March.
So bottom line, next steps look like some simple collaborative agreements to work together, and we have to put together a short and specific work and funding plan to make it fly.
Onward! The game’s afoot…
