Roger Simon is working out some questions about Pajamas Media in public over on his site – “What is Fair and Balanced?<\/a>” – a discussion and comment thread which came to the interesting conclusion that a better motto would be “honest and transparent” as well as “How can we be an online Joe Friday?<\/a>” If you haven’t already, go over and join the conversation.<\/p>\n

I’ll comment on the broader meta-issue which I think is important, which is Pajamas’ commitment to take some of the basic questions and exercise them in public. I am and have been a big believer in dialog – both in terms of using this blog as a way of triggering and promoting dialog (as opposed to pronouncements) and in terms of the power of blogs in general as being the power of dialog.<\/p>\n

In my day job as a technology manager, I’ve been introducing the concepts of ‘open-ended’ solutions which we can distribute to be developed from the bottom up rather than trying constantly to build them from the top down.<\/p>\n

I’ve spread a lot of copies of fellow firearms owner Eric Raymond’s<\/a> work around – specifically the updated versions of ‘The Cathedral and the Bazaar<\/a>.’<\/p>\n

He has a great chapter title in it – “How Many Eyeballs Tame Complexity”. He’s talking about testing and QA specifically, but the same principle, carefully applied, can also help resolve complex business and social issues. <\/p>\n

How do you test and grow ideas within a community? How do you keep the community broad and inclusive enough not to become an echo chamber while keeping it cohesive enough to make sure that all points of view are listened to?<\/b><\/p>\n

I’ll throw those out as my questions about something like Pajamas Media, and I’m obviously interested in what folks have to say.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
