how about turning something good into something extraordinary
Describe your idea:
NABUUR.COM has created something special and probably unique: the possibility for Local Communities around the world to bring specific problems to the attention of concerned 'Neighbours' around the world, who then jointly solve that problem via the Internet.
The basic tools, procedures and systems are in place. 79 local communities now take part. 200 local communities will be served by the end of 2006, 1000 by the end of 2007, many more after that. Given the number of people that would like to engage directly with a meaningful cause, this will become an enormous force for the good. But we need your help to get there.
The flow on the site needs to become much more fluent, fun, transparent, effective. Wiki's, maps, video's, stories, rss feeds, etc probably need to be added. What needs to be done first? Who can do it? Who is willing to make this happen in the next two years?
