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 extend
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 actual work will be done in the other facilities of CoV, but a clear account of the project, its achievements, its status, the rules, and all the links to the facilities it uses should be present somewhere (its Wiki page is a good place for that). Maybe we can also have a Projects section on the BBS later.
More to follow. Add your thought here.
