Hello, I am the creator/founder of Javul.org. I am working to get this project off the ground. Things I think a lot about are User-focused Product design, Recycling, environment/resource usage, [[Standardization]], how to improve government and leadership ([[Performance-Based System for Electing Better Leaders|article]]), [[Global Citizen Curriculum]], improving Parenting, Open-source software, community-owned businesses etc.

==Current Strategy for 2.0==
* Get some Laravel dev training from a separate person
* Payment mechanism (separate dev for Core functionality, maybe)
* Open-source Wiki (site wide objects and wiki in general). In Bid, explain the project ask for people to recommend (if possible). Each object must belong to a 'Unit'. For example 3 wiki pages. And a few Wiki objects.
* Open-source Forum for separate integration that can be used by Units

==Links for me==

* Purge cache, add this to end of a page: '''?action=purge'''
* MW Interface: [[MediaWiki:Sidebar]] | [[MediaWiki:Sitenotice]]

==Group Activities==
* Create guidelines (transparency, open source, being open to criticism of ideas, no ownership of ideas or products, de-centralized power structure, group consensus)
* How effective groups work
* Reward Systems (but first beneficial activities that would be done). Creating a list of beneficial activities
