[MG] Minimal start plan - inter-community network

Fri Jun 3 07:41:02 EDT 2011

I took a look at bettermeans.com and wiki.eudemocracia.org and I think the
latter is using "bettermeans" to realize its ideas.

Maybe this might be an option for us too?
I also believe that the use of bettermeans.com could inspire us, because in
the end ...whats different between ruling a corporation and ruling a
country? :-)

Yes, do that! Though I still had the picture to integrate the 
recources-aspect into the vote-space, not into a seperate map. Otherwise 
the seperate map would have to look like the vote-space, wouldnt it? 
Because just like with the votes, one would want to see at each node, 
how much support/resources it has!?
