First: decide on an achievable goal

Wiki 2.0 is moving now, based on simple observations:

1. Copying an excerpt of a Step a day (and tagging it!) is one simple action that done over time will produce a foundation for every person to keep their own wiki. Far better to pass along the practice than the product. https://www.community.newmessage.org/members/marys/profile/
2. The Steps Index is easily replicable. This is what we want: to make the New Message findable, make it reduplicate, make it copyable.
For instance, collect all the photoquotes, each one one a blog post a day, (tagged and you have quick and easy SEO). Add relevant revelations and contemplations as they occur to you. Crosslink with other posts and other students doing the same.
Copy the Steps Index in other languages, and reach out to individuals to take on Categories to spread the wiki Mycorrhiza-like through the internet.
Each Category and every Book of the New Message could have its own blog posting a gem a day (they do get likes) to build a platform in that room along a corridor of the New Message, where all participants would be listed on the Categories page of the wiki
3. By doing so we relieve the Society of the burden of hosting the wiki. We claim it for ourselves, and we realize the massive burden when we try to split it up among ourselves.
4. This gift, if we show up in numbers, will be the equivalent of a massive boost for the Summers.
5. It achieves one small, achievable goal. We need this for the Wikipedia article scheduled a year from now perhaps: a roll call of mobilized, shovel-ready voices to "Represent!" A number of participants that shows traction as a new religious movement.. This task of taking responsibility for the wiki will show grassroots establishment by substantiating the voices with more permanent links than social media posts. It's a ridiculous amount of value for short-term and sporadic participation as we only need the head count of respondents on this one task, to segment the wiki over blogsites copying quotes as posts, particularly in 2024 to "Represent" the numbers of actual voices for the NM.

One prototype is taking shape at onlyonegang.com. Lessons learned--no need to tag every single word. ONLY What Jumps Out at You. The simple action of quoting only an excerpt but noting on the post for the day, all that comes to mind... to have that platform to return to, this repeated among us and cross-linked would be the wiki we need and the world needs.
