R E - R E A D E R - Biro Beograd

we are still in the process of developing the most functional approach. Our
web site, on the address http://slobodnakultura.org/index.php/Glavna_
strana, was based on media wiki platform, but for various reasons we are
in the process of switching to CMS (content management system), and the
one we are building a new site is based upon Drupal [http://drupal.org]
– we expect to replace the wiki one with a new system and fresh content in
the following weeks, on the permanent address http://slobodnakultura.org.
We also managed to deploy, up to a certain success, a collaborative writing
on the documents such are definition of the aims and activities of our
organization and project proposals for funders using web-based platforms
like http://www.writely.com, but of course there are people whose interests,
skills and abilities will be manifested in some specific and complementary
situations and on some dedicated tasks. We try not to “guide” that kind
of positioning, but to rather leave it to the process of “natural” selection
trough interest expressed and the evaluation of difference between minimal
or desired and actually accomplished results in certain situation.
Communicating and collaborating trough web-based platforms and mailing
lists should not be in any way a replacement for real-world – in this
phase of development and utilization of technology still it may be a simulation,
supplement or the extension of it. Remember, for example, old movies
where we follow the progress of a murder case? Remember that one can
appoint the meeting with the “executor” by phone or trough mediators,
but have to actually meet in order to say who will be the victim, and when?
Still, it seems that some important decisions have to be “verified” by one’s
“bodily presence”, as a sort of guarantee that you as such stand aware and
responsible for what you do and stand for. Hm, I think I might have borrowed
this from Marko Košnik :-)
