The Extranet for the Revolution

Open source cooperative efforts are constantly emerging in response to real human need (Katrina and the SE Asian Tsunami are recent extreme examples). Unfortunately, the knowledge and capabilities (the killer combo) aggregated during these efforts disbands after the event recedes into history. There hasn't been any effort to build a sustainable system/community/...

Josh Koenig and Zach Rosen have been working on a system and an associated community to fill this gap. This isn't another Web 2.0 get rich quick scheme that's posing as social revolution. No, it's the real deal. So, with that said, they need a small amount of cash, hopefully raised through donations, to bring it to the next level.

Here's Josh making the pitch. Here's more detail on the system.
