I started something here. It's a first version. Take a look and say what you think.

http://virus.lucifer.com/wiki/VirianProjects

<snip>

The Church of Virus has:
- Guiding principles
- Facilities (BBS/list, Wiki, IRC, online and real world resources offered by members)
- Members
- Vested knowledge and policies

The object of this page is to facilitate the development of various memetic efforts to some depth by giving them a chance to have a greenhouse of their own, so that they won't be shot to the ground before they are ready to compete.

What CoV currently offers is making a framework available to its members for creating projects on anything they find worth pursuing, beneficial, stimulating, or just plain entertaining, in groups organized in the way of their choice and using the suitable facilities, according to some guiding principles of the CoV community. (Maybe a couple of default rule sets can be offered in the future.)

A project can expect assistance or resources from fellow virians to the extent it convinces them that it is a worthwhile cause. Important and successfull projects will be praised by the community, which will add to their scope (the Meridion reputation and voting system could be used for this purpose). Unsuccessful projects will be forgotten. Objectionable projects will be either banned or labeled heretic and left to their own. Some projects may have a special global status in the community (maybe the Ideohazard ezine qualifies for one), with their rules set by the community.

Any virian who is allowed access to the Wiki (reputation 6+) can start a project by creating a Wiki page of the form ProjectXxxxxx, set the goals and some ground rules, announce it in the online facilities of CoV (BBS, mailing list, IRC), promote it, and seek members.

The "VirusProjects" wiki page I mentioned earlier has been renamed to "VirianProjects." So, it is now:

http://virus.lucifer.com/wiki/VirianProjects

Hermit has added some structure. I will have to polish the language a bit and describe in easy steps how one can start a project.

A sample project page has already been created here:
http://virus.lucifer.com/wiki/VirianProjectEducation

A project doesn't have to be very intellectual or anything. A music related topic, for example, would be ok. But it does need one or more persons to take it upon themselves.
