A Million Thanks go to these groups whose community feeds we've already tapped:

Please write us if you have/want ideas for more dynamically illustrating the Human Vibrancy of your community, its teachers and its children!
Open Community Architecture
In a democracy, we are each others' infrastructure. Our geo-social fabric takes inspiration from:
- Dialogue between public and private community spaces
http://theopensourceway.org/wiki/Communities_of_practice
- Good Faith Collaboration = people who share a passion to learn, by interacting regularly, and conscientiously
http://reagle.org/joseph/2010/gfc/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Reagle/Berkman_Reading_Group
- Creativity = allowing yourself to make mistakes
- Art = knowing which ones to keep
- 1 Billion children who are tired of waiting!
