Honore and boatsie -- thanks for your responses -- I'll heed your thoughts and check out the Suggestions group.

Deborah, of course I remember FluidArts. I'm sure you're still making good things happen in the world, one way or another. It's not the form, it's the heart.

Glad you were able to make use of some of the lessons learned in Greenstar's ongoing adventure.

I do recall the reference to delivering source code to SourceForge in March, I know software always takes longer than expected and the last 1% takes 10x longer than the first 99%. Tell the geeks to take their time, get it right, release when ready.

Yes, that's me, from Greenstar -- I'll cast around and see if I can put my question in a better place. New to this space. Thanks -- maybe the "Aficionados" Forum? If you have a better idea, let me know.

I for one am looking forward to the release of the documented source of the WISER platform, which I understand is coming in the spring. Some wiser geek is plowing away on this, I hope he/she is getting all the support they need. Yes?

For several reasons I'd like to host a couple of sites I help run on WISER, as preferable to other open-source CMS like Drupal. It would be so kewl if each new instance of WISER had built-in hooks to optionally communicate/syndicate with each other -- ie., users, data, links from the mother ship could be automagically updated to new instances of WISER and vice-versa. Chunks could be shared/unshared as needed, by users or admins. A sort of OpenID and more, for wiser people.

Is this in the thinking path somewhere?

Honore, you're listed as one of the technical leads on the open-source software that underlies the WiserEarth website. This is some of the slickest, fastest software of the kind that I've seen -- we're currently evaluating Drupal as a platform. The FAQs say that the source and other files are going to go public for others to use -- that was well back in 2007. How have those plans progressed? My relevant sites include http://www.greenstar.org and http://www.waimeavalley.org
