    <p>Honestly there is no conspiratory intent in what I'm talking
      about.</p>
    <p>How would I pick them? Say that I want to make a proposal about
      how to tag "cauliflower fields": I'll try to get in touch via
      email with others that have already expressed their interest in
      something similar (<i>e.g. artichokes fields</i>) and ask if they
      are interested in working with me on my new fantastic idea of
      tagging "cauliflower fields" and/or if they know anybody else that
      they think could be interested.<br>

    <p>No need for that. You can use good-old email, WhatsApp, Telegram,
