I can't help but hold this up beside participatory action research models. Mostly because I'm currently writing that part of my project proposal. I'm now planning a website to hold the project so I can research and study out loud. Kind of stoked about that.

I'm also seeing shadows of Harrison Owen's Open Space in this. He says in his User's Guide that "Cyberspace and Open Space are pretty much the same thing, and the internet is in fact the largest open space going" (p. 54).
