Hi All,
I have been working with Steve for a couple of years on various
projects, this DoWire Online Groups site being the latest of those. This
site is running on the latest version of GroupServer, the open source
collaboration platform that my colleagues and I have developed.
I am currently launching a new service at http://onlinegroups.net where
you can start your own online groups site now.
I also look after online collaboration projects in the elearning,
knowledge management and edemocracy areas. In Aotearoa New Zealand, we
are fostering clusters of online groups in a bunch of areas that are
gradually linking up:
- community organisations
- public health
- local government
- environmental management/biodiversity, both scientific and community-based
- local participative edemocracy
Typical projects are virtual teams or communities of practice but my
expertise and interest is specifically in online groups, whatever the
context.
I am involved in a project to get a regional public issues forum going
in Canterbury (where I live).
I'm glad to be in this group, and delighted to see it here.
