Nice post. The key is how we can all help each other right? Can we work with you to create Innovative ways to help all while helping any person/organisation (including yourself)? EG... Crowdsource video for all E.G. http://www.WEBiversity.org or working with http://www.spot.us http://www.internews.org http://www.oneworldhealth.org http://www.interhealth.org.uk http://www.drumbeat.org and http://www.swiftriver.com

Do suggest what you want to work on or what you NEED or can GIVE by Tweeting to @whymandesign or commenting at http://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/group.php?gid=352077702670 http://www.whymandesign.com

Would it be possible to work with you to make a re skinned
version of existing software so we can help the public to solve
other social issues (Ideally using the http://www.TRAIDmark.org business
structure)? Maybe working with someone like
http://www.ONEworldHEALTH.org or http://www.earth.org which is closing so maybe this is something I could help you take on so everyone can share local knowledge? Also can http://www.WEBiversity.org share video's and create http://www.TRUSTlibrary.org with your team? http://www.WhymanDesign.com

Ed, no need to post duplicate comments on different blog posts; the number of links in there is triggering our spam filters and repeatedly blocking you. We are already pursuing a whitelabel strategy.
