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
centers
are 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.
