I have spent some time organising the structure of how people will interact with the project over the past week or so. There are now some guidelines in place, I have a feeling however with the nature of the project they may become adapted.
Last night I sent a short mail shot out to begin to raise awareness of the project. I am now blogging with excitement from the out comes of that. So far I have received three challenges and they are very different and very exciting, each one is a completely different style of challenge, two verge on being illegal and one has a very high chance of me looking ridiculous unless I am cleaver enough to make it a success.
Until a few days ago I had thought that I would choose the challenges from those I receive, however some one put to me that it should not be me that selects the challenge. I find that a really interesting notion but there are two sides of the coin. If I were to choose however objective I attempt to be, there will always be an element of subjectivity choosing challenges that interest me most over those that are the most challenging. However these challenges are personal and if some one were to choose for me I may not find the selected option challenging. The question of authorship is then raised, if some one else chooses the challenge then my authorship is only in initiation and fulfilment, and not in being an objective selector.
I feel in truth to the project structure I have put in place so far would be for me to choose the challenge objectively, perhaps I say that as I have set the structure of the project and am not as open to changing that structure as I would like to be. The challenge however is to remain objective. I need to make the decision about this before the end of the month which is achievable, however what I choose should then become another project rule. I am also actually quite scared about another person selecting my challenge for the month, comes with the territory!
You can now become a part of the project on Facebook.
