There are those who need help (resources, ideas, dollars, etc.), those
who have these resources, and intermediaries who can connect the two.
Dear World Wide Friends,
I agree with Mr. Levy. "Our goal should not be to create forums for

Alan Levy's statement that "Our goal should not be to create forums for
collaboration, which already proliferate, but an actual collaboration"
certainly resonates with me.
In fact, resources and efforts spent on additional fora should be
compared with the additional action and impact resulting fr
Scott Robinson has a valid point. Numerous other similar examples
abound. His sample village, along with community projects around Latin
America in which he participates, can be provided access to IP-based

Peter,
As one of the central coordinators of the World Bank website, I just
wanted to say that it is extremely nice to get your positive feedback on
the value of the site. There are many webmasters throughout the
institution who have worked very hard to make the site more useful,

Dear GKD Members,
I do agree with Peter Ellis that the Bank has enormous quantity of

Several people have written to this list mentioning in passing that
