She’s a co-worker. We’ve been doing more collaboration-type projects with WOSU, including another one that she didn’t mention: Ohio War Stories (www.ohiowarstories.org) It was an entirely new project for wosu, one in which that we didn’t try to be the experts on a topic. We simply opened the doors and let Ohio war veterans tell their oral and written histories to us. No fact checking. No limits on content.

In many ways, the web aspect of Columbus Neighborhoods will follow that path. We’ll build the space, and we’re looking for input.

I’m the lead developer for an online collaboration project at the City University of New York, called the CUNY Academic Commons. The purpose of our site, much like yours, is to provide a space that allows for and encourages communication and collaboration between people who have common interests but may not otherwise have found ways to work together. I’ll be anxious to hear about all the aspects of your project and to see how far the analogies between our two projects can be taken: the technical details of your setup, the strategies you’ve used for fostering community, etc.

I look forward to learning more about it.
