Do op Startup Process

So you want to create a do-op?

The "anti-redundency, let's not duplicate effort" check

Look at the existing do-ops in the sidebar to the right, and make sure that there isn't already a group similar to what you want to do. If there is, please contact that group and see how to coordinate your efforts with them. If there's not already a team doing that work, or if you can't find a way to work with that team, then start your own do-op!

Creating Coherence

In order to effectively transform inputs into outputs, your do-op is going to need clarity about:

• The intention of the group
• Name of the Do-op
• Inputs
• Outputs
• Participation Protocol (what does it take to enter the do-op, participate in the do-op, exit the do-op?)
• Coherence holder(s)
• Communication Channels (Are you holding meetings? When and where? Are you generating artifacts? Where?

Setting up your Do-op on the wiki (so everybody else knows you exist)

1. right click on the pen icon in the right sidebar and select "Open Link in New Window" (to edit the sidebar while being able to follow these instructions)
2. Under the Do-ops section, add a new entry with your do-op name using this structure: - Our Do-op Name
3. When you are finished, near the bottom, add an "edit message" like "updated sidebar with blah blah do op" and click save
4. Go to the Do-op Template.
5. click the edit button on the upper right
6. SELECT ALL of the text and COPY it
7. go back to wiki
8. In the right sidebar, click the link for your new do-op
9. In the body, PASTE the text from the Do-op Template
10. Fill in each section
11. When you are finished add a comment like "created blahblah Do op" and click save
