Hi All, Summer is just gearing up down here in Melbourne, but glad to see activity in the group nonetheless. :)
I joined this group in 2007 while living in NYC, when I started following up an interest in the Internet's potential for catalysing large scale collaboration. Didn't take long to find this group. At that time, Mark Elliott was also here researching collaboration, from Melbourne. You can dig into the archives for a nice debate on definitions of collaboration/cooperation/coordination. A lot has happened since then, and I have recently migrated to Melbourne to join Mark's company Collabforge(.com). We've had some pretty exciting times putting theory into action with our (mostly) government clients. We've undertaken a wide range of projects, but the biggest theme has been collaborative (wiki-based) development of policy and planning. Mark recently presented our work at a UN summit on public service in Barcelona, and it seems like there's an opportunity there to bring some cooperative approaches to bear on the Millennium Development Goals (which are in great danger of failing to be met). I'd love to hear any brainstorms/insights folks on this list might have on that subject. Otherwise, I'm just glad to see this community up and running.
