Barrett Brown asked me to send you some general information about Project PM.  

Project PM is a collective of individuals interested in improving how information is shared via the internet, many of whom are also interested in science and journalism.  

Here are a few of Project PM's participants or friends who have an internet presence:

Brown and I, like many others, are regular readers of Juan Cole http://www.juancole.com/, Glenn Greenwald http://www.salon.com/news/opinion/glenn_greenwald/index.html, and Matt Taibbi http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/matt-taibbi


Here is a link to a video of Brown discussing the information-sharing network currently being built under the leadership of Campbell Vertesi:

Here is a link to an article Brown wrote about a year ago which was somewhat prophetic:

The projects described at http://www.projectpm.org/ are going forward under the general leadership of Campbell Vertesi. 
Brown handed off leadership to Vertesi because Brown has more recently been busy with activism, as you know. 

These projects (information network, science/journalism project, Africa charity) will probably soon be pursued under a name other than Project PM, to avoid confusion.
