ICTS for Development
From the DO-Consult list today comes this link that has personal relevance to me - Europe & CIS Regional Resource Facility. I have been working on a number of ICT related projects in Central Asia since 2000, mostly with Project Harmony. So I was interested to dig into the country profiles. It is a great overview -- and there is some amazing stuff being done -- but I wondered about the fact that it was just about UNDP stuff when the value of all this internet stuff is the NETWORK!
What if they had produced the report as a wiki so other organizations could add their information? Or maybe this can be a springboard to something that allows folks to not just publish a static report (ah, pdf, don't get me started) on "best practices" but build them, keep them alive, more like the work of AidWorkers Network - a 5000 member network of development workers who are held together by email lists, a web based repository and the good intentions of volunteers. (Hey, if you know of any funders, point them to this group. NOW!)
How do we move from static to active? From an organizational standpoint, how do we generate enough trust to help this happen. Ownership is an issue. Can we let go?

Yay! Nancy has a blog!
Welcome aboard!
That is exactly the reason why my personal wiki, which is mostly an index into resources, is primarily public domain (http://www.primarilypublicdomain.org/), so as to be maximally reusable and, most importantly, improvable by anyone anywhere.
