A ShouldDo list
- Foster better informed citizenry. First step: Improve online news? Initial exploratory work in progress.
- Establish programming & web tech as core competency for journalists, politicians, ..., everyone. Because in those jobs, you just need to be able to effectively use, but also flexibly build and customize, tools for information retrieval, visualization & communication. First step: Courses @ Metalab?
- Radically simplify computing user interfaces. First step: Standardize (some aspects of) web UI? Some sort of seal of approval for cloud services with OpenID login, Atom & AtomPub APIs, oAuth?, standard UI patterns, standard i18n patterns,... "Regular people can use these tools in any combination!"
- Hacker stipends: YCombinator for not-necessarily-startups. Grassroots Grundeinkommen. First step: Get rich?
- Reform election laws: Less influence of geographic location, abolish hurdles, Condorcet, etc. First step: Start a campaign?
- Liberal/libertarian political activism: Because of the incompetence of actors at the Austrian political party level, escalate to EU level or focus on cross-party projects.
- Integration: Free pies, or something.
- Improve online communication tools: Mailing lists, forums, wikis: So much to improve with each of those. Maybe build on the Wave protocol?
- Education. Only vague thoughts here, but probably greatest potential to make a big difference. How to learn more to see what can be improved? Upbringing is an even greater point of leverage, but likely much harder to influence?
- Everything requires: Money to survive, other people and the ability to motivate them, more discipline, stable sleep cycle, more delegation,...
