I just found out today that my IT friends in Shanghai are not able to view my websites (this one & another). Sites blocked by the Chinese government. Ah how sad! I was just looking to share my information with my friends.
Also, another IT friend in UK pointed this rather interesting read at wikipedia, PROMIS
Interesting contrasts on the way governments use their ‘power’ to control and/or use information.
I have looked at collaboration tools (mainly Open Source Software) in the past for communities and wondered if anyone would be interested to explore this with me for the ADR (covering mediation and arbitration) communities.
If interested, please leave me your comment here. I am avoiding posting my e-mail here to avoid auto spammers.
