"Collective Intelligence" + SMS + Translators

Posting the initial run of this project URL http://mobile-democracy.re-configure.org has me thinking that "Collective Intelligence" + SMS is something to figure out how to develop further.

Something I will be mentioning in the project overview is the essential need for translators and perhaps employing people from http://www.telelanguage.com

New Independence New Abilities A Techno-based Medical Rehab Facility in India for People with Disabilities

http://www.netsquared.org/projects/vote The burst of insight regarding Disabilities and the process of Rehabilitation comes when one's own loved one is hospitalized with broken neck (for example), and then we are reminded of how tormenting the physical suffering can be, and we silently wait and pray.

Getting those lists onto a website

A while back I wrote about Remember the Milk and Ta-da lists and lamented the fact that there wasn't an easy way to get the content onto a website.  Of course, because they don't offer it, it doesn't mean that it can't be done.

Stowe Boyd points out  that you both products produce RSS feeds.  Those feeds can be run through a service, like FeedDigest. The result?  A bit of javascript that you can place onto your website.  Why is that nice?  It means you can track a list and use the functionality of the services (easy to add items, sharing and -- in the case of Remember the Milk -- an ability to add a due date and other levels of information to the item and the list) but have that list appear on a website.  An easy way to show what you are working on in your organization.  It seems like this could be especially nice when working on a project with volunteers.
