I think the best thing to do right now is to begin categorizing all of the information into a workable stream or flow chart. Starting with master topics and then branching out into the many subtopics. The master topics can begin with two points: 1) YOU and 2) External World & Control Grid or everything outside of you. (Imagine the Yin & Yang - the control you exert and the control that is exerted upon you in context of the global mind). So in a sense, you have the section that provides the problems (External), then the section that provides the solutions (YOU: Internal). I imagine a massive, linkable flow "tree" that allows for visual understanding of how all of these things are interrelated... probably harder than it sounds, but a visual picture is very important for keeping things in their contexts and providing needed structure to bodies of knowledge than can be overwhelming as we all know. I imagine a "sun" where the right half mirrors the left half... the "rays" are the trees of information, the left side "problems" are mirrored by the right side "solutions". This way we achieve visual balance both in terms of structure and organization, but also in terms of the psychological/emotional... the ability to see that with every problem there is a series of solutions.

EG: A. YOU: Spirituality, Meditation (deserves it's own category), Preparation, Roles & Role Fulfillment, Health, etc. Naturally all of these are related to how well we know ourselves, the things we do or can do (solutions), the things we believe, and the areas we have immediate control over. Each of these will have a multitude of their own subtopics.

B. Outside of YOU: at least 2 parts: I. Break down the many parts of the control grid: 1) Monetary system/economics, 2) Agriculture and food 3) medicine, 4) energy, 5) news and media, 6) culture (TV, Music, personal technology) 7) government, 8) religion and organized spiritual influences; II. those items not specifically related to the direct control grid: 1) UFOs, ETs and related technology, 2) Historical record (the REAL history of past events including and number of conspiracies, wars etc). Plenty can be added here.

Each topic and subtopic will have a "tree" of linked media - news, youtube, books, articles etc. Each piece will have it's own page with a description, a rating of value voted in by members (say * out of 10 stars) and a comment section below where members have made particular points about the value of the media piece (or otherwise). Each of these media sections will have a list of members who have offered themselves as helpers/instructors for the particular subject or media. The names of these members can be clicked on which will bring up a chat bar to send messages or questions to about the subject in question.

** Think in terms of how Amazon works for e-commerce, except this will be more interactive - allowing for direct or indirect contact of members who have offered themselves for assistance on a particular subject. It's like a group school.

Any of these should be able to be edited on the fly by admins - to add media, remove media, clarify points etc.

Additions:

1) Each member should be able to contribute information via posts, media links etc. Those additions can go into a private clearing house of sorts where a minimum number of votes and high enough rating must be achieved in order for it to be published into the tree by an admin. (Perhaps a submit link on every topic or subtopic page).This will keep the contributions coming in while allowing for a system to eliminate superfluous, fearful, misplaced or otherwise non-useful additions to appear in the public copy. We need consensus and clarity. These subjects can get very messy with opinion, off-subject tangents, emotion, argument and other manifestations of ego - we don't need any of that in a resource/information/teaching model of information delivery.

2) Effectively what we are doing here is taking the Avalon forum and putting it into a more useful structure while taking out some of the other personal negatives that get intermingled; then adding a help and teaching section that can be accessed by request of the user. In the end, we will have a ONE STOP SHOP in place for all of this material on the web.God what I would have given for that back when I started... what a mess it is out there. Never know what to trust or where to find the good stuff. This is how we can help! We have all been there!

3) If we are lucky, we will be able to put "master admins/helpers" (plural) over specific topics of their choosing based on their experience, knowledge and proficiency with that/those subject(s). These people will be in charge of maintaining the structure and clearing-house as well as be first in line on the "help" list for that subject. This is where the "Jedi Teaching" really comes into play. If you want to add a curriculum and mastery line, the "masters" would we in charge of creating it with whatever resources they deemed necessary, then to be voted on by the membership as a whole to be edited or published. "Mastery" or whatever you want to call it, would open the window for that person to join the master admins for that section. This is not a privilege as much as it is a responsibility. Privilege is old paradigm. This entire process should be fully transparent top to bottom and as flexible as possible. Hierarchy has no place here. There are just levels of abilities... or more specifically, greater levels of service able to perform/give.

4) There will also be a user rating system for the admins/helpers to allow for a secondary check and balance and allow for the membership on the whole to assist in resolving problems, areas of weakness, disputes etc before they get out of hand. Open communication is key and some form of rating system may allows for that communication to occur objectively.
