is initially populated by source material written by Simon himself, this is not meant to be a shrine to the man, but an ever-expanding reference guide for the methods.  Strategy mapping, as promoted by Mr. Wardley, is primarily a methodology - an active process that has procedures, definitions, visualizations, categories, frameworks, and theories.  This site aims to organize the existing and yet-to-be-created material for easy cross-reference to support the practice of strategy.</ins></div></td></tr>\n<tr><td colspan=\"2\"> </td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td

methods is published under these terms, so it only seems fair.  Please do not publish anything that you do not have rights to offer under these terms.</ins></div></td></tr>\n<tr><td

academia.  Free speech and free debate is encouraged, but there will be zero tolerance for abusive, exclusionary, or illegal comments or personal attacks.  We expect readers to be tolerant to ideas that are different from their own, but writers are '''required''' to be polite and civil.  The burden of deciding what is polite enough is on the writer, and the moderators will be ruthless and swift in responding to anything that reeks of unpleasant behavior.  Disagree with other members all you want, but when in doubt, please double-down on politeness.</ins></div></td></tr>\n<tr><td colspan=\"2\"> </td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td class='diff-addedline'><div><ins class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">* We expect to adopt many of the methods, culture, and publication style

edit.</ins></div></td></tr>\n<tr><td colspan=\"2\"> </td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td class='diff-addedline'><div><ins class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">* The short version of the rules of engagement is: if you think something should be added, don't ask for permission, just add it.  If something needs to be edited, just do it.  You generally cannot break anything, even by editing text, because the old version can be recovered, if necessary.  If you see a page that has lots of activity, and you want to avoid stepping on any toes, discuss it on the Talk page, and absent reasonable requests to desist, make your change.</ins></div></td></tr>\n<tr><td colspan=\"2\"> </td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td class='diff-addedline'><div><ins class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">* The structure of the site and templates for the pages will be constantly evolving.  I expect some aspects to standardize and solidify, and others to keep evolving as we discover what is most useful.  Please don't let this disturb or offend you, even if you put a lot of work into building a particular structure.  The only proof of correctness of an idea here will be the adoption and use of that idea.  A great idea that doesn't get consumed doesn't mean you aren't hardworking, brilliant, and a tireless contributor, it just means that evolution has little empathy.</ins></div></td></tr>\n<tr><td colspan=\"2\"> </td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td class='diff-addedline'><div> </div></td></tr>\n<tr><td colspan=\"2\"> </td><td

place to start is probably by taking the big lists / tables found in Wardley's work: Doctrine, Inertia, Gameplay, Climatic Patterns, etc.; each one probably wants a dedicated page that includes a

data points, methods, procedures, and insights out of that article, and create (or expand) a dedicated page on that tidbit.  Then be sure you add some categories or cross-references to connect it to the rest of the content.</ins></div></td></tr>\n<tr><td colspan=\"2\"> </td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td class='diff-addedline'><div><ins class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">* As content starts to get built-out, there is an opportunity to build out structured meta-data.  The Wiki software makes categories very easy to create and add to pages, and automatically builds category index
