A Social Operating System and a Coproduction Readiness Tool

I like the idea of a social operating system, a little like Julian Dobson's National Grid of Community Infrastructure. Here's a Chamberlain Forum article that discusses it. I'm not so sold on the core economy stuff, simply becasue i think its unrealistic as a destination right now.. http://www.chamberlainforum.org/?p=1638

It means you could have some metrix and measurement on the indicators necessary for coproduction. 

In line with the 1) thuinking 2) testing 3) doing model we could communicate changes even when there seems to be little actually happening.

What do you think..?
