Hello List:

I just read an interesting article in Fast Company: The Ultimate Guide to
Change, about Mary McCormick, President of the Fund for the City of New
York. The article describes several innovative projects McCormick has
initiated that employ the Internet for community improvement and
development. The link to the article is below. What do you think of the
projects she describes? Are any of you involved in similar efforts?
