Rationalising the irrational and the return to Open Source

The session noted in my last post is still continuing, the problem for me now is that it has opened the floodgates and I am overwhelmed with all the ideas and arguments that come out of it. I will spend some time taking notes and mindmaps to pull it all together again. I would love to note everything as I follow it online but blogs are serial things and would make it difficult to pull things together - a wiki would be more useful, but still cumbersome to move things around.

One result coming out of all this is that I am going to pull away from Google's shared hosting and bring it all together in one place at my host, Dreamhost, using the best fitting open source. One advantage is that the whole setup can then be shared and there will be no proprietary systems to deal with later. Ideally, everything that belongs in the system should belong equally to everyone who collaborates on it and if changes are needed they can be handled.
