Do-ops
Do-ops or “do-operations” are agile workgroups formed around particular inputs and outputs.
The Do-ops wiki page contains the most up-to-date list of do-ops. The directory below needs to be brought up-to-date with this file (an older listing is the Metacurrency Org Redesign spreadsheet).
Directory Do-op
Ceptr
deicidus (curator)
The Directory Do-op indexes the activities of all other do-ops, so it’s easy to see what everyone else is working on, and how that work combines holopticistically (synarchically). This reduces duplication of effort, creates new connections and cross-pollination, and makes all projects more accessible to newcomers (the directory is a rapid onboarding interface).

- This page and the CIC site in general
- The other directories listed above under “Other directories”
