What's the Gold Standard?

Rome to mesa is the next evolution of federations and federated wickies, right? To have this a different mechanisms for instead of just disseminating ideas and having people up bot and down bot them. You provide ways for them to build on each other and allow them to talk about, talk through thei ideas. I find that a really interesting idea, taking people who understand the different parts of of a complex system and sort of merging their understandings together. Like, what tools are available to do that kind of thing?
