A German wiki for the founders of online communities and people sharing similar interests. As far as one can tell it will be the first try at a democratic MemberWiki (complete transfer of power from the founder to the members). 

* [http://www.wikiservice.at/gruender/wiki.cgi?StartSeite GründerWiki:StartSeite]
* [http://www.wikiservice.at/gruender/wiki.cgi?RecentChanges GründerWiki:RecentChanges]
* InterWiki test: GründerWiki:RecentChanges

The initial setup is:
* to be a place "for founders and hosts" (not ''about'' communities)
* German ist used as its main language
* MemberWiki (members will vote and decide as soon as possible, perhaps 1-3 years)
** an official list of member has been started: http://www.wikiservice.at/gruender/wiki.cgi?GründerWikiMitglieder
** together with processes (under development) to add new members and to make decisions 
* currently not copyleft (but there will be documents and pages for member to use in their communities), license will be chosen by its members
* semi-open (there may be a members-only space)

The planned relationship to meatball:

* good neighbourhood, we will try to give more back to MeatBall than we draw from it
* we will not specially aim at translating MeatBall pages, the new wiki shall grow out of its own needs and develop its own language
* a MeatBall representative is invited as a member (a voting member as soon as a voting system exists). A formal invitation will be given.

My commitment to MeatBall as the primary place to discuss online community issues (to do science) is unchanged. -- HelmutLeitner

A discussion moved to VotingSystemCollaboration.
