[Diaspora] Campaign Writeup: The Azure Cluster

[Kenneth Coble]

David,

thanks for the reply (which I wound up snipping because I hate the way
gmail handles quoting)!  I do like your whiteboard idea - in our
group, the people who 'rolled' each world wound up in charge of
writing down everything about that world, which might have contributed
to my feeling of increased investment in the worlds we were handling.
Having said that, one of the other guys at my table was commenting on
our writeup, and he felt that we achieved a real degree of
transparency and joint ownership, so part of the problem might just be
that I'm apparently a naturally greedy person and all my perceptions
of cluster creation were colored by that, hehe!

And I still felt like we had a true collaborative effort at our table,
so I might be making a problem out of something that wasn't
problematic at all.  But I do think your idea of using a whiteboard -
or more generally, the concept of one person acting as a central
notetaker - might eliminate any lingering tendency towards the person
writing for a given world to feel, however subconsciously, that they
were in some way the final arbiter of what gets written about that
world.

Thanks again,
Ken
