https://www.knowledgefutures.org/ The Knowledge Futures Group builds technology for the production, curation, and preservation of knowledge in service of the public good. Two projects of theirs that I found really interesting - • PubPub - PubPub is an open authoring and publishing platform. It socializes the process of knowledge creation by integrating conversation, annotation, and versioning into short and long-form digital publication. • Underlay - The Underlay is a free and open source system for structuring, storing, and aggregating open, distributed knowledge.

KF is neat! I met AJ from this group (who I think manages it?) through a mutual friend in Boston

Ah looks like its a Media labs group. I had gone through every group at the labs in 2017, so was wondering how I missed this! But seems this was started in mid 2018. http://news.mit.edu/2018/mit-press-mit-media-lab-launch-knowledge-futures-group-0927

yeah. I’ve heard through the grapevine that they’re in the middle of some funding struggles b/c of the whole Epstein / Media Lab shakeout

Interesting, I will definitely be checking it out, thank you! My project hits a similar distributed knowledge question, but from a consumer perspective. We're launching in our market soon, but will definitely need wider community support to succeed. We're a nerdy social enterprise. https://beaverlodge.game/
