Project (meaning) definition

From Ben Branwyn

A project is a bite-sized chunk of work with its own identity that you are currently engaged upon (or you've just finished) and that can be replicated by others. The reason you're writing about it is so that others can be inspired by it and replicate it, usually remoulding it to their own unique local circumstances. It can be ongoing (eg GardenShare) or time-bounded (eg Tisbury Clean Up Week).

It's not: a training course, a website, a set of opinions, a book (unless perhaps a community created book involving all the local schoolkids that maps green initiatives in your area), a sponsored ride (unless perhaps a 6-month story-telling journey from one Transition group to another), an idea, a movie (unless perhaps a community-crafted movie involving oral histories of local people). It can be something that makes money (eg community shop) or not (eg GardenShare).

  1. A submitter adds a 'Project Submission' from the widget, it is not a Project Profile on the main TN projects directory, and has a status 'Pending'
  2. Given approval by the moderator (webmaster, very quick), the project becomes a Project Profile on TN.org main site
