A person moving much of his time outside of the community, collecting values to bring home. "honey bee", "honey bee role" or "honey bee community" are possible patterns that have turned up in the English pattern community around DougSchuler. India supports people in the honey bee role to go out to rural areas and collect and support grass root innovations.
Known people in the HoneyBee role:
- MattisManzel -- collecting and connecting wikis using the WikiNode concept
- MarkDilley -- building the WikiIndex system
- ChristopheDucamp -- travels English wiki communities and translates relevant texts for the French community.
In principle most wikis need someone to fill this role, to gain value and importance, to attract contributors or readers.
Usually the founder fills this role during the SeedPosting period.
