Some future directions
This is a short post to outline some of the directions that I will be taking this blog and the associated website in the near future. Of course, my next task will be to complete the article "The Allure of Fractals, Part I". So far, I have gotten some general ideas for what I want to write, plus found a whole host of websites to link to. From the experience of writing the first article, I will be using an iterative process to develop the article, alternating between writing and finding supporting links. I want to then write two more articles, one about Platonic philosphy as it relates to the open source software project, complexity theory, and politics (I will be moving some material from the website over to the blog), and then one about competency rallying for open source software projects based upon new forms of project management, including the swarm methodology. Finally, I will investigate looking into other relevent blogs to link to, plus RSS feeds to hopefully increase the communicative aspects of the blog. The end goal of all this is to evangelize about the open source software project, The Wisdom Seeker IDE. Personally, I had a nice weekend this weekend, with two "get togethers" with family. I am trying to write on a consistent schedule, so that is why I am giving a "heads up" about the progress I have been making (even if just in thought) in this posting. I have noticed that the Wisdom Seeker IDE web page has gotten over 140 hits since mid January. I am feeling positive about this, but wish that some people would write me and start getting involved. I think that maybe moving the nontechnical "stuff" to the blog and leaving a strictly technical web page might increase the quality of the presentation.
