So a major objective here is not only to convince you that the project is feasible, the first step even within a practical Grand Challenge timeframe, but also to emphasize that the project's targeted outcome should also embody and even strongly reinforce all the major checks and balances against the rightly-feared human tendency. {nid 2YC2}
So a major objective in these pages is not only to convince you that the project is feasible, the envisaged Ontolog Community-managed steps even within a practical Grand Challenge timeframe, but also to convey to what extent the project's targeted outcome should also embody and even strongly reinforce and augment all the major checks and balances against the rightly-feared human tendency. {nid 2YC2}

= The stepwise project envisaged now {nid 2YC4} =

1. The Ontolog Community thrashes out the issues as set out here, and decides whether to proceed with the evolving plan. (By end 2011?) Then if so: {nid 2YC5}

2. Further define and organize, then fund, mount, launch and execute the Grand Challenge. (Launch or some earlier clear stage at Ontology Summit 2012?) The outcome would be a starter "Application Operating System" (AOS) able to function as a bootstrap for a new ecosystem as a qualitatively-better platform or environment for all Internet-based applications. (1 year?) (You'll see how that could well be reasonable.) {nid 2YC6}

3. The evolving and burgeoning ecosystem in the Internet wild continues as a fully self-managed universal marketplace. (Onwards, with ever more variations of the AOS, always interoperable.) {nid 2YC7}
