There are __ _____ listed below alphabetically.
There are __ _____ listed below chronologically.

Goals

Minimalism and clarity
Standardization across IBG posts
Networks of IBG websites and blogs

With the exception of Wikipedia, I believe information on the internet is very disorganized. To address this, we need a standard for displaying text information on a webpage that enables different websites to work together on the same information collection project. I also believe such a standard should have a method for creating small chunks of information. Chunking allows information to exist in a more granular medium which allows greater flexibility when organizing and arranging pieces of information in a directory.

The curators who create directories (or search engines) of IBG posts would be responsible for helping readers find posts and essentially create the network.

-My goal is to find people and organizations who are willing to convert their knowledge into the IBG format. I'm optimistic that someday there can be thousands of blogs and websites that use IBG to create a decentralized network of compatible reference works.
-If two bloggers make a post on the same topic using IBG, both posts would exist just as two different web pages on the same topic can exist on the internet. I imagine that there would be curators who would create collections of posts from various blogs. The curator of one of these collections would select their preferred post on a specific topic if there were multiple posts on a topic. The curators who create lists of IBG posts would be responsible for helping readers find posts and essentially create the network.
+With the exception of Wikipedia, I believe information on the internet is very disorganized. To address this, we need a standard for displaying text information on a webpage that enables different websites to work together on the same information collection project. I also believe such a standard should have a method for creating small chunks of information. Chunking allows information to exist in a more granular medium which allows greater flexibility when organizing and arranging pieces of information in a directory.
-To organize the world's information, I believe it would be necessary to have a standard for creating chunks of information. Creating chunks allows information to exist in a more granular medium that be used interchangeably to create directories of links and yellow pages, brick by brick. This can be compared to a search engine, which is primarily used for information retrieval (which is of course extremely useful), but does not organize the overall structure of information from a user perspective. Using a search engine can be compared to shining a flashlight in a single location, while a using directory is like turning the lights on to see the entire room.
+The curators who create directories (or search engines) of IBG posts would be responsible for helping readers find posts and essentially create the network.
-I see Wikipedia as the most organized and comprehensive collection of text information on the internet today, while the rest of the internet is very disorganized. To address this I believe we need a new standard (or lingua franca) that can help the rest of the internet work together towards creating a decentralized alternative to Wikipedia.
