A. Build the best possible internal internet, allowing all Aotearoa-New Zealanders to be each other’s potential audience.Make the inteconnections  very broad band, and develop software to make them useful for everyone.

B. Build country-wide websites that make it easy to know what is going on and what is needed in every conceivable kind of activity.
For example, take the arts. Artists of all sorts should be encouraged to announce not only finished
works, but works in progress; they should have the ability to ask for help (say with materials) and
advice both from other artists and from other sorts of professionals. Works than can be represented
 on the Internet ought to be, whenever feasible. Critics should also be encouraged to have connected web pages. To encourage use of the system and listings, at first there might actually be a (modest) payment made to one for listing one’s works in progress.

C. Focus directly on overcoming the “tall poppy syndrome.”
For instance, offer prizes in many categories to school kids who do something attention-getting.

D. Take steps to improve internal journalism that relates to resident’s achievements. For instance, focus journalism education on fields like science reporting
