Redefinition of Meritocracy
I like the definition of meritocracy found on the homepage of
The Habari Project.
Habari is a vibrant open source project that embraces the concept of
Meritocracy. In a nutshell, if you are a positive force in the community
you are given more authority. This applies to people from all walks of
life, not just developers. We are always looking for help in one of the
following areas.
Which contrasts with the
usual definition of meritocracy:
- A system in which advancement is based on individual ability or achievement.
- A group of leaders or officeholders selected on the basis of individual ability or achievement.
- Leadership by such a group.
Solution to What Problem?
This Habari Project's definition of meritocracy solves, for me, the issue of who should be given more authority.
Question: Who should be given authority
Answer: Those who are a positive force in the community
