As far as finding out what communities actually want, foundations would do well to actually put community members in charge of the decision-making process, or at the very least put a community member or two on their boards. It is truly astonishing to look at board composition in the foundation sector and then look at the communities they wish to impact. There is usually no overlap, and the arrogance embodied in this approach is astonishing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3614581.post-73244038630863353122012-08-21T06:41:51.263-07:002012-08-21T06:41:51.263-07:00Persistent, relevant networking and consistent, ac...Persistent, relevant networking and consistent, accurate archiving are very difficult tasks to manage. Especially when we are all overwhelmed and overloaded with these pursuits in addition to a kajillion others. I hope your readers know about IssueLab, a service of the Foundation Center that is designed to help with this very effort of ensuring that folks know about the findings and analysis of their colleagues. This fall we will launch the latest version of our open platform for knowledge archiving and sharing which is designed to do exactly what you stress and we know is important. It will be available to anyone with knowledge to share, and will make it very easy to describe, index, archive, and distribute the work of the sector.LBhttp://www.issuelab.orgnoreply@blogger.com
