Proposed collaboration with MAN
Hi VF gang! @bhaugen and I been working off and on with the Mutual Aid Network in Madison WI for some time. And commenting here about them occasionally. Next year some time, hopefully early in the year, they are going to address interoperability between their platforms (Wezer, Community Forge, and LocEcon). We proposed to do that as a collaboration between the MAN and ValueFlows, so that MAN can gain interoperability, and VF can have a concrete use case to push it forward in the world. Stephanie from the MAN was enthusiastic about such a collaboration.
Also in the most recent discussion was @numapanuma from GoPacifia in Argentina, who is also very interested in software interoperability. They are planning to use NRP, and could also benefit from some of the MAN functionality. So NRP could be part of it too, remains to be seen.
This also seems like a great time to try to work on the long discussed collaboration with TransforMap and @almereyda , as he has also had recent discussions with the MAN.
So - I'm pretty excited about the possibility. But what do you all think? Good step for us?
