Thanks Jordan - let me know how those internal discussions progress - I think there's still an opportunity to put something collaborative together but don't want to be a burden on your business either.

I'll bring the idea up with the folks here. We could do CI 101, ethics and literature as three key areas to cover.<br />
<br />
We could consider a simple services directory as well, probably with nominal contribution fees which would serve to qualify vendors that manage a page in the directory, and help ensure that they keep it up to date.<br />
<br />
Human Cost: While the administrative task is not hard, We'd need a few folks to act as "gardeners" of sorts. This wouldn't require anything close to the gardening task…

<br />
Human Cost: While the administrative task is not hard, We'd need a few folks to act as "gardeners" of sorts. This wouldn't require anything close to the gardening task for Wikipedia, but would involve some oversight on the structure of the system, and some monitoring of user behavior.<br />
<br />
Infrastructure Cost: Insofar as infrastructure, we manage sites in Amazon's cloud now and, so, its easiest to keep it there. There is a material cost to running a server, some of which we could absorb in "sponsor" terms but would be desirable (and fairer, across the board, I wouldn't want "traction software" to get an unfair share of visibility as certain other vendors get right now by virtue of services they offer via scip) to open up for other sponsors as discussed above. As you might imagine, I still…tag:competitiveintelligence.ning.com,2009-05-22:2036441:Comment:222562009-05-22T20:40:13.995ZArik Johnsonhttps://competitiveintelligence.ning.com/profile/ArikJohnson
As you might imagine, I still think it's a no-brainer, killer idea! Would Traction be willing to donate some software to the effort? If so, let's just go ahead and do it - I'd certainly chip in what I know. Heck, we'd even be willing to donate the server space if that was an issue for you guys.

When SCIP put out an RFP with respect to building an electronic courseware for CI 101, my gut reaction was why? This community has the knowledge and can put the courseware in a wiki, along with other relevant resources such as ethics, pointers to key literature and news coverage of the space, legal rulings which affect us, and so on. With the future of SCIP itself being uncertain, I think there's more motivation to band together to build this sort of resource.

We might have an alternative to that at the free level - let me talk with my CTO and see what he can rig up as a simple apparatus to use.

It is free up to 100 participants. From there one need to pay as you go. There may be others that I am not aware with more capacity and still for free.<br />
<br />
If there are other acceptable ways I am all for it. The key issue is to find a way to protect identities and give participants enough trust and credibility to share sensitive information.<br />

Just FYI, it used to be 90% who were corporate practitioners, but I don't have the latest numbers. So you're right, the number is declining, but I do know corporate still predominates by far!

Hi Miguel - no problem - the Ning service doesn't have its own survey tool, but if you have one that could be embedded or simply linked to, I'd be happy to post it to the membership.

I know that Linkedin allows 'Polls' but if Ning could also do it I believe we have here a great sample to get those results fast. Another way would be for Arik, given the fact that he's likely the CINing administrator, to send us all a 'survey monkey' link or even better a link to the community directly.<br />
<br />
Arik - can you give any input on this? Sorry if I am giving extra work... ;-)
