Can it be done is a good question and all I can say is we will see.

I don’t want to make people less selfish though. I want to harness the selfishness for good. :)

I think we can all work together selfishly.
After all, if I help you what are you likely to do for me? So I get something from it too.

That’s what I do with DailyJ. I’m probably the most selfish person around ;)

But, can it be done?

Can we really work together unselfishly?

I want to think so.

I mentioned our discussion over at Jref.com and NiceGaijin asked me a question over there about my Leaderless Decentralised Community comment. Here is the link to conversation.

I cannot take credit for the idea of a decentralised organisation. It is the subject of a great book called The Starfish and the Spider: The Unstoppable Power of Leaderless Organisations. You can read the first chapter of it here

As the webmasters among us probably know, open source software projects have support forums that users go to and freely assist one another with technical problems, etc. Together they build entire software packages (linux is a good example, wordpress too).

This is the type of collaboration I hope will happen on the J-web.
