User:Usmaan

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 (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

• Open-source Society Project
• https://www.reddit.com/r/open_collab_society/ (older, not working at this time: /r/Javul)
• Developing a Strategy for Social Change (Stanford free course)
• Performance-Based System for Electing Better Leaders
• Apps and Software related to Government and Politics - review the items
• Voting Advice Applications (long research paper)
• Task Related Pages (consolidate if possible)
  • Tasks (to do)
  • Objectives and Tasks for Javul.org - includes short-term and long-term plans, and current tasks
  • Software Development Tasks (for importing into Github Issues
• 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

Things to do

• Global Cities ... (Alliance/Federation)
• post the Creative strategist job to: https://crypto.jobs/
• Transport App
• ideas site:reddit.com - try various subs
• https://www.reddit.com/r/Lightbulb/
  • Members of Congress should be required to pass an exam about the bills they are about to vote on before being allowed to vote
• https://www.reddit.com/r/SomebodyMakeThis/
• https://www.reddit.com/r/CrazyIdeas/ ("Submit original, interesting ideas. Sense, rationality, possibility and ethics are for sissies.")
  • Each election, the voters additionally vote on issues they want solved in the following election. The following election, officials campaign on how they will solve the top isssue during their term and folks vote for the candidates with the best ideas for addressing the problem.
  • Instead of a single sitting president, we elect a team of economists, scientists, and politicians that take bi-monthly turns at being head of the team.
  • Let anyone edit laws on a platform and send the results to politicians. #democracy
  • With internet being so accessible, the public should get to vote on every government decision, thus making politicians obsolete and the state much more cost-effective.
• https://www.reddit.com/r/NeutralPolitics/ - 280k members, however check policies
• https://www.reddit.com/r/Entrepreneur/ (needs + 10 karma to post) - not a good sub to post in, mostly about making money
  • How can I make my political app better and gain traction? (3 years ago)
