More ideas than you can shake a stick at

Down to the Work Foundation last night for a mySociety gathering. Regular readers will recall that coordinator Tom Steinberg unveiled the project in Online in late October. It's come a long way since. Last night was to look at some of the ideas which have flooded in during the first few weeks, do a little evaulating and discuss thorny issues like - where does the project get funding? What shouldn't it be doing? There were some interesting ideas scattered around on bits of paper, on which we were to leave our comments (you can read the full list of ideas here). And there were some interesting folk around to cast their eyes over the ideas, too. I met Susan Sabey, who's behind London community website Cityneighbours.com, and who explained about a huge network of London sites called London Voices that I'm going to explore soon. And I met Tom again and we didn't mention the weblog competition once, and Phil and regular Onlineblog commenter Iain (hello!) and, of course, Dave Green, who got all excited by the finger food. Which, given his interests, is appropriate, I suppose.
