I have recently written an on-line proposal to stimulate a discussion about the
topic - InterActive InterNetworking for Ecological Commons. Below I will provide
a
link to the PlaNetworks InterActive conference where details of this proposal
can be found.

The Interactive Watersheds web site project , including the Watershed Community
Centers is a major part of this discussion proposal.

Included here is a short abstract:

Community based collaborative groups are often organized to study, rehabilitate
and preserve watersheds, parks, and other natural ecological commons. Today,
interactive and highly visualized multimedia web sites containing on-line
community
networking centersare also being developed in an attempt to attract and engage
many
more people in future democratic and cooperative commons management.

Please read the full proposal and post your comments on this Discussion group.
