 26 May 2007 @ 19:26, by Roger EatonThere is an up and coming online community called Wiser Earth. Wiser Earth is a creation of Paul Hawken's Natural Capital Institute. The WE software is based on MySQL and open source php. Hawken has just come out with an important new book: "Blessed Unrest: How the Largest Movement in the World Came Into Being and Why No One Saw It Coming." Here is the blurb: "WiserEarth serves the people who are transforming the world. It is an open source, community-editable international directory and networking forum that maps, links and empowers the largest movement in the world – the hundreds of thousands of organizations within civil society that address social justice, poverty, and the environment." Check it out and join up! WiserEarth is supporting the exact same community of globally aware groups and networks that will be the backbone of the Global Assembly Dialog. It makes sense that the GA software be integrated with the WiserEarth software. However that is not so easily done, since GA is dot-net, alas, while WE is php. I am hoping to get a discussion going at WE about a possible collaboration. Please see my profile at WE for more. |
