Outline of wiki design

Encyclopaedic spaces - general -backend divisions

Space 1 (namespace: Traditions)

This will be divided into two spaces - emic (from within the tradition), etic (from without - studies, analysis etc.)

Organisations in world religions are invited to present their view of emergence/mystical experience, basically what EPEEs are normal, which are not, what to do about these, how they would like these handled by the clinical mainstream, allowed in their own language, with their own ontologies and epistemics and cultural overlay.  Eg. Catholics, Pentecostal, Sufi, Shi’a, Buddhist etc.  Moderation guidelines are relaxed, with an emphasis on autonomy in presentation and language used.

This will be structured according to Olivier's Typologies model.

Space 2 (namespace: Scientific)

A more curated layer of synthesis, covering cultural, scientific, phenomenological reports of particular phenomena looking for patterns in the spirit of “rough clinical perennialism”.    This layer will focus on phenomenological patterns and taxonomy, and will need to differentiate between peer-reviewed and anecdotal evidence and be clear about evidence quality in general.

This will be structured according to Olivier's Multi-dimensional model, which we be renamed Themes and Domains

Space 3 (namespace: Clinical)

A heavily curated layer of clinical recommendations, overseen by MD’s and clinical practitioners.  This could be designed around the structures given as answers by Daniel to the EOP, as a start to a much larger and more diverse conversation with many more voices.

Non - encyclopaedic Spaces

Work (namespace: to be created)

A non-public work space for those working on the wiki.

Each layer will require the following:

Design of space

Contributors (identifying them, inviting them, preparing them)

Guidelines and protocols for content

Moderation

Appropriate technical access set up, including permissions

Configuration Pages for Spaces are here.

Frontend Division - managed by Categories, Templates, and Infoboxes

• Traditions
• Disciplines
• Experiences
• Cultivation and Management (of challenges and subclinical complications)
• Clinical recommendations (for clinical complications)

The Phases of work

Phase 1

Building the architecture.  Putting in place the protocols, permissions, and design required. A small group invited in to test, experiment, see what is needed, request built things.
