    I propose the following:
    The second (?) tenent of the jedi code is "there is no ignorance, there is knowledge".
    Thus I say we start the Jedi Archives/Rebel Alliance Database.
    There are many organizations working out there to end the Bush evil empire, protect our civil rights, encourage people to vote, impeach bush, etc.... I feel that by researching these and posting them to a database, it would be easier 1) for people feeling overwhelmed/apathetic to access information on these great organizations and 2) for our alliance to get a better idea of what our nitch could be 3) for our alliance to see what a good second mission would be and 4) we would already know what work has been done by others, thus becoming more efficient.
    I propose that this archive be it's own tribe where we post threads that contain links and information about these organizations. I would also suggest keeping discussions on that tribe to a minimun in order to keep the database easy to read and the links easy to access. Discussions could be based back here at the Jedi Order Tribe.
    I came up with this idea after thinking for a very long time yesterday about all the things we could do and realizing that so many organizations currently exist out there that are doing work along the lines many of us are probably thinking. By researching them I feel like we can learn from the models they use, the research they've done, build on their strengths and pick up where their weeknesses are leaving off. In this way we're not being redundant in our fight to bring peace and order to our galaxy.
    Anyone have any thoughts/suggestions on this idea?
    I have the time to do a lot of research at work and would not mind moderating the archive tribe. --peace

      you can list me as a liasion to the Portland Impeach Bush group.

      My female counterpart happens to be the organizer for the group, so access to information is a given.

          Sounds like a good start. I'm happy to help in a software capacity. I'm really into wiki's these days. How about a Jedi Alliance wiki that we can all contribute these links and resources to?

              Tamsen I LOVE THE IDEA AND IT SOUNDS MORE LIKE A SCIENCE OFFICERS JOB.....WOULD YOU LIKE TO START OUT AS THE OFFICIAL SCIENCE OFFICER?

              i HAVE HEARD OF WIKI'S, YOU CAN ADD AND CHANGE...SOUNDS MARVELOUS....WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE COMMUNICATION OFFICER?

              I SENSE THAT THIS IS JUST APIECE OF BUILDING THE INFRASTRUCTURE BUT NOT THE FIRST REAL MISSION. i think we should create a way to contact all of these organizations and let them know that the jedis are here! WE NEED SOMETHING LIKE GREENPEACE DID WITH THE BOATS AND THE WHALES...WE NEED TO SEND A MESSAGE TO THE EMPIRE THAT WE WILL NOT GO DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT!

              I just wante to invite you to the 2012 tribe...and the UTOPIA game tribe...the larger plan of which the jedis are an exceedingly important part ...is brewing there...we are going to create an entire new economic system, using a new way of organizing human beings together. Check out ther shared knowledge community thread in 2012...we are starting to get people in 3 cities to begin...

              ARRR tamsen...hoist the flag....adventure is in the air!

                I'm all for the 'having fun' aspect of all of this, but if we're going to be assigning positions such as 'science officer' or 'communications officer' in such a starfleet manner, then I'm out.
                If we are making a SERIOUS effort to gather the information we need and accomplish the tasks we have set for ourselves, then I am of the opinion that presenting ourselves in a manner that implies that we're a bunch of kids playing a game may not be the best plan. Perhaps if we present ourselves in such a way that demands that we are taken seriously, then people will actually do so.
                Furthermore, the plural form of the word "Jedi" is "Jedi"
                (not Jedis)
                thanks

                  still need to know what a wiki is.
                  on the professional tip, i was just thinking about how we will have to name the database something disassociated with jedi and such terms becasue lucas will not hesitate to sue us. the san diego star wars society had legal action brought against them for wearing their costumes to lucas-non-approved venues. he doesn't f**k around with people using his copyrighted stuff.
                  also, i disagree that "science officer" or "communications officer" implies childishness. though i do feel i don't need a label and can where many hats. it's just pirate's lingo coming from a pirate. you call yourself lord maddock and that doesn't make me think you're childish.
                  but back to business: is this wiki thing a separate website that we can freely add/substract information from? is there an example i can look at to have a better idea? i'd like to see how it's organized and who can access it and all those logistics i guess. i'm still confused as to what it looks like, how to use it and where it is.

                    going back to the captains mention of doing something big that delivers a big message:

                    what did you have in mind?
                    if someone's on the east coast with a boat we could make a huge banner and sail up and down the coast on inaguration day and hopefully pick up some publicity. i'm on the west coast so i wouldn't be able to be there, but i could work on the end of getting media interested in covering it.

                    To be quite honest, implying childishness wasnt the point to be made. I simply had meant to point out that if we have real goals and real agendas, then the application of such labels will earn us the misfortune of being viewed as less than serious about our cause.
                    I very well could change my display name to Bryan, or anything else for that matter, but this communication medium isnt publicly displayed in a forum where our objectives are to be carried out.
                    I was simply implying that I personally wont take a naval type label, nor do I think it would be appropriate for public use. Like I said, I'm all for the fun factor involved. And if the captain wants to stand on the deck with a stuffed parrot on his shoulder yelling "ARRR!!!" and swilling brandy or rum, hell, I'll be standing right there with him! LOL Just not while we're acting in a capacity relating to the mission plan.
                    As for lucas sueing us for claiming to be Jedi.....I dont believe he can. (Unless we show up at a public or SW related event in tunics and carrying lightsabers) otherwise he would have to sue the thouands of people in Australia who filled out the 'Religion' section of their national census by writing in the faith of "Jedi".
                    That is neither here nor there, just an observation and opinion.
                    I know of a group here who uses a wiki, and i believe that I have access to it, but I have yet to log in and see what it's all about. I'll see what I can do between now and monday as far as getting some onformation about the what - when - where - and why posted on here so we will all know what we're talking about.

              Wiki in a nutshell: (taken from another tribe that uses one for information gathering, cataloging, and private sharing)

              First, a wiki is not an e-list and it operates differently. To
              quote page 84, Popular Science, August 2004, "A control freak's
              worst nightmare, wikis are Web sites that allow anyone to make
              changes to them. Fans say they are the Web's promise fulfilled
              a way to harness a global brain trust to make content accurate
              and timely. To critics, wikis are just a hairbreadth away from
              anarchy and mob rule." The word "wiki" comes from the Hawaiian
              word "wikiwiki" meaning "quick".

                ooohhh. sounds cool. this wiki thing could very well be the perfect thing.
                i will spend time this weekend gathering info, links and the like and get your guys' feedback.
                I also had a thought for something "big" as the captain suggested. In santa cruz a few years ago a group of folks spelled PEACE on the beach with their naked bodies. the nature of the act won them a lot of publicity. Now, i'm not down with flashing my tits in the name of peace, but i was thinking that perhaps we could inspire large groups in various cities to make huge human signs that say somthing like: bush encircled with a line through it-while dressed up as something crazy (like blood soaked victims of war or clowns or, hell, even pirates.)
                actually, "tits against bush" wouldn't be a bad idea either.....thousands of tits waving on inaguration day with "impeach bush" painted on them....hmm.... I could go for that as long as i had some solidarity : )

                  Arrrrr, me don'ts think you can ever go wrong with a large group of waving tits. Especially with a cool offshore breeze. Me don'ts remember reading about that particular strategy in the jedi handbook, but you never know...I would have to put that as a 'good idea' on the list.

                  As per the naval distinctions...there is a bit more to it that ye may see right now. The names may be a bit silly but if we are putting ourselves forward as Jedi I can't see the general populace taking us that seriously anyway...

                  Me thinks humour is also a good strategy to gets a lot of attention.

                  You sees I has been working on this very secret plan for quite a while now. For I seez that ye cannot all milly nilly go running around flashing thousands of tits without some longer term motives.

                  First we has to get to know one another a little better and seez what each is bringing to the table. All Jedis are not alike. All have a unique gift they have. How do these gifts come together is what interests me.

                  Now we could all do a goal like someone suggested and is a mighty good idea....but a rebel alliance is a lot more than just a few jedis doing independent goals.

                  Sometime ye has to look a longer term in mind. Perhaps ye has a system and a plan. Perhaps ye don't. I just have seen over and over again groups of people not really being effective because they lack a few essential tings...and not just a rubber parrot and some rum.

                  There is an energy in the universe called "the force".....either ye believe and know it or ye don't. there is a much greater plan than we could know unraveling at this time. When ye open up and follow your intuition..ye are led to what ye has to do...ye may not be led to interacting in this fashion which is more than fine...

                  I would like to see if there are 15 jedi just willing to try this out...just give it a shot..and I'll show ye a magic that will blow your cannonballs away....
