To Do Today:
• Survey what tech skills your younger workers have:
• Modding, Web Design, Video prod., Podcasting,
• Second Life, etc.
• Post a list of known problems that need solutions:
• Offer bounties for solutions
• Offer 10% of time to work on company-benefitting stuff:
• Offer prizes
• Organize people by “classes” (cohorts):
• Meet regularly; decide unique contributions
