Thats brilliant Campbell. Now I just need broadband in my new place.

Hello everyone -
With the Egyptian crisis at hand, and so much development on so many fronts
for our membership, it was time to have a place for our communities to
organize.  Enter ProjectPM Commons!

http://commons.projectpm.org

Registration is open, so *sign up and sign in*!  You can create a Group for
whatever area of work you are in.  I've already started groups for Project
Tunisia and Project Egypt, we need someone to start a group for the Science
Journalism project, and one for the Africa Development Program at least.
 Each group has:

   - a discussion forum for rapid development of ideas
   - a blog for posting updates and news
   - a wiki for writing quick notes and keeping information on the situation
   - a document storage and sharing area for any formal documents
   - a calendar for scheduling events and demonstrations
   - a shoutbox for posting quick messages and having online discussions
   - a feed aggregator (for collecting information as it happens from
   sources like google news)
   - an RSS feed of it's own, so people can follow updates conveniently
   - automatic emails of updates to any of the content, so members find out
   about updates as they happen

Every member of the group can access and create this content. This is a huge
improvement over just our IRC and typepad organization so far.  And more
improvements are coming!

Many thanks,

C
