Thanks Phil - I'm off to Big Society North today, and as I mention here, there's great ideas coming from Eden District. Will revisit your thoughtful process on return.

Ideas on how to build from the citizens and communities level, or citizen centred stuff ('bottom up' still a little perjorative sounding?) 1. It'd be nice to get something relevant to the first 4 BS communities - Sutton, Windsor and Maidenhead, Ede…

Thanks Phil, Marilyn - I do agree we should be aiming for an innovation exchange, a market place, and a mix of free and paid for. There's some of that in the original paper and you have made it much clearer. Thanks. As a start, we'll probable focus…

If you look at it more as a market place rather than a store then all things can be encompassed. The marketplace at the centre of the community - however large or small that community is, could bring together the idea of particular skills sharing st…

Via twitter I saw a website that got me thinking about offers and wants in a wide sense. It may be just me (the rest of you may have twigged this right away, and of course it may be that offers need to be in at least a healthy balance to wants) but…

Hi Lindsey - maybe we take Your Square Mile and the store as loose metaphors for neighbourhood, and somewhere to get good stuff and connect with helpful people. Then the issue is what we do centrally to help, what has to be crafted locally - and who…

I'd like to add something into this, which may have been covered in other ways. When we were trying to do the first generation of broadband, we came up with the idea of a GuildHall (virtual eg online). Whilst it did include a Library (books, white p…

Hi all, David, thanks for your positive reply. (I love the ambition of this whole thing.) Have put some miscellaneous comment and questions on a wiki discussion page.

Marilyn - thanks so much for insights on how to blend the opportunities offered by new social tech with the older lesson of community development: start where people are ... their needs, enthusiasms. In addition, I'm really interested in what new di…

Phil Green replied to David Wilcox's discussion 'Starting discussions on Big Society Stores and Spaces'
"...we need something real as well as the virtual..." preferably yes, but the feel of the thing (both real and virtual) seems crucial. It concerns me if the feel of the discussion so far seems to contain a mindset which is at risk of seeing citizens…

As volunteers and independantly my colleagues and myself, not all employed by the council, started one of the first social media surgeries in Yorkshire which is in Huddersfield. These surgeries have been very successful. We were inspired by the talk…

David Wilcox replied to David Wilcox's discussion 'Starting discussions on Big Society Stores and Spaces'
Dave - agreed. This is a Big Society Store (working title) offering a range of Good Stuff online. The Apps store is the marketplace metaphor. Social media surgeries are a great example, and I love David Barrie's thinking about how we use a mix of co…
