A couple of years ago a good friend of mine and I were looking into the wonderful world of wikis.
We had an idea to build a software product to vizualize wikis that would almost allow you to look into someones brain. We did not actually build our vaporware product, but I was happy we did find TouchGraph and the meatball wiki example.

I remember looking at the meatball conceptcloud graphed by TouchGraph and experiencing a rare moment of hapiness. It was as if I found a dictionary to my own thoughts. Via the graph I would browse the meatball wiki for hours and hours to make sense of the world.

Now after recently starting this blog to explore the concept of leadership and my initial mistrust of pure democratic governance, I have found the meatball wiki again when googling for definitions of Benevolent Dictators.
The meatball wiki has one. Serendipity strikes again, this is no coincidence.

This time when I entered the wiki, I was again hapilly surprised to see that community concepts such as rights of participants are defined as well. Some examples: the RightToLeave, RightToFork and DelegateResponsibility (for the dictator)

So...to shape the rules of this opendictator community (of 2?) it may be an idea to combine the blog with a wiki as well. Hmmm, I wonder if I can already start delegating...
