But the basic idea is to craft some eDiscourse tools/platforms to allow discussants to participate in global scale discourse on global issues. I'm figuring you would be a good contributer to several threads but also be able to give feedback to those of us who are trying to do the crafting.

If you go to the Groups tab you will find two groups formed. One for the architect discussions re: the tools, etc. The other is for Climate Change discussions. One way to get started would be to start a forum for something like the drought conditions in Australia and what you see happening to farms, people, etc. Or something like that.

Right now the groups are just self-organizing and there are no real protocols. We're learning as we go. So jump in whenever you feel comfortable. You can even invite others you know who have an interest in climate change matters to join.

Hope this helps a bit. I'm still getting my toes wet.
