And hey, that's life but what really nailed it as an option for that particular client was the lack of NZ support/ecosystem for them (closed was based in Sydney). Sorry to be a little negative but I really love the s/w and want it to work - just a little more work in this neck of the woods required though Hmm I had a “not so good” experience with Alfresco earlier in the year and whilst the product seemed great it, well, just didn’t work for a client (ie, the s/w wouldn’t do it’s thing).

I think in terms of methodology, it has been invented long before either projects :) We have had online/offline collaboration in highly effective ways throughout the Open Source world for many years. Combinations of people contributing ideas, the sorting of ideas into a living working roadmap, and then the implementation of those ideas in practise. I think also it isn't that there is fear people will say the wrong thing, but rather a trust that given the opportunity for peer review, the "most useful/appropriate" things will emerge. we try to ensure all items discussed are put into the briefing paper, no matter what our thoughts on them, however we also ensure the crowds responses, where possible, are also recorded. I think this peer review of ideas put forward it really useful. The final endorsement system helps a) weed out any inappropriate stuff put into the wiki and overlooked and b) gave some sort of basic prioritisation as to what people thought were the most important recommendations. Hope this all helps, and we are looking into Dave's methods as well.

Some differences, I recommend technical writers to synthesis the material and significant levels of coaching to get people into the blog storm. Other variations include use of SenseMaker™ to gather blog like material in large volumes. You are wrong on starting conditions. Yes I had experience, but I took the principles of CAS theory and applied them (Praxis, or theory informed practice) otherwise OK Parallel invention I assume.
