OK, that's a great goal! Maybe you could include that in the proposal in some way, to clarify your intentions. And then go into a bit more detail about why you, personally, can make this happen.

Great writing voice, good idea I think, and excellent local insight.<br />
<br />
and for progressive input: concretize. I see the main weakness as so much of the plan hinging on finding the great web designer - it will have to be the case that you have some web design ideas that you have the designer build on or execute. And whatever those ideas are, that concretely manifest your excellently written vision, include those in your final evoke.<br />

Way to be Wallace! Really, an engaging writing voice you have…

My goal for ReBuffalo.org is to create the best tool in the world for online collaboration. The typical geographically based online community is a source for news and discussion. ReBuffalo.org, however, will be designed to facilitate group interaction rather than individual opinions. Collaboration is difficult to achieve offline and it is even more difficult online. As society continues to spend more and more time online we need to find ways to work together in this environment and deal with…
My goal for ReBuffalo.org is to create the best tool in the world for online collaboration. The typical geographically based online community is a source for news and discussion. ReBuffalo.org, however, will be designed to facilitate group interaction rather than individual opinions. Collaboration is difficult to achieve offline and it is even more difficult online. As society continues to spend more and more time online we need to find ways to work together in this environment and deal with the depersonalization that can occur online due to physical distance and anonymity. ReBuffalo will be designed in a way that will help users focus on ideas, solutions, and action plans and reduce the amount of time wasted on petty squabbles. ReBuffalo will make it easier for individuals, organizations, and government to work together to both solve big problems and scale up small success stories. Another unique aspect of this project is that the site itself will represent no particular goals for Buffalo, NY. Though I can think of a lot of issues that the users of ReBuffalo.org might address (i.e. poverty, vacant housing) the site will ask users to decide on goals and chart the course. Hmmm.

Hmmm. OK, how about rather than me asking <i>how</i> will it be different from any other typical geographically based online community, maybe it might be more useful to ask <i>why</i> it will be different from, and more successful than, the usual typical geographically based online community?<br />

I'm trying to clarify what it is about your project that makes it so special that someone would say "Yes! That's awesome, and I want to fund it!" :-) Perhaps even just a clear goal that you intend for the project would help. For example, in 3 years, what measurable changes would you hope to have helped make happen with your project? Hi Turil,

Hi Turil,<br />
<br />
Thanks for commenting on my Evokation (<a href="http://bit.ly/ddA3ZU" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/ddA3ZU</a>). It's funny that you mentioned the possibility of using a strengths assessment to enhance collaboration because I use Gallup's StrengthsQuest inventory (<a href="http://bit.ly/StxO6" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/StxO6</a>) with students at the community college that I work for. I have thought about incorporating a strengths philosophy into the site, but I would appreciate…
Hi Turil,<br />
<br />
Thanks for commenting on my Evokation (<a href="http://bit.ly/ddA3ZU" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/ddA3ZU</a>). It's funny that you mentioned the possibility of using a strengths assessment to enhance collaboration because I use Gallup's StrengthsQuest inventory (<a href="http://bit.ly/StxO6" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/StxO6</a>) with students at the community college that I work for. I have thought about incorporating a strengths philosophy into the site, but I would appreciate any ideas that you have on how to do this. As for specifics about the ReBuffalo.org (<a href="http://bit.ly/dlqnlt" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/dlqnlt</a>) website design it's still too early for me to say exactly what the site will look like. I hope to make the process of designing the site as collaborative as the site itself will be, so I am starting to put together a committee that will make web design decisions. However, some design options include gaming features such as those in Evoke or IBM's CityOne game (<a href="http://bit.ly/8YdTR3" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/8YdTR3</a>) and/or design features that support collaboration such as those found in Beth Simone Noveck's Peer to Patent site (<a href="http://www.peertopatent.org/" target="_blank">http://www.peertopatent.org/</a>). If you have any suggestions for how I can promote online collaboration please let me know.

What if you were able to bring in the positive psychology research into this project? Something like the Strengths assessment tool?<br />
<br />
Also, I think you've got a great idea, and I'm not sure that the practical elements are coming through in this submission. Can you maybe add something about the structure of the website, and how it's different from the usual geographically-based online community?
