Charlie, et al., I'm trying to develop a mechanism in which to do so. I am proposing an alternative model of collaborative action research: it needs to be sustained (ongoing), open, collaborative, not rooted in turf and ownership, and receptive to energies of volunteers.

Join the State-by-State ICT Policy and Practice Project: http://www.omidyar.net/group/state-by-state/ I'd want a more extensive tool set, for the open research collaborative, and am working on defining those. Right now the content is not "there", but it easily could be, given the right framework and committed parties.
