It also mentions other interesting sites like:https://thesuperfluid.com/ Superfluid makes collaboration in social networks fair by enabling members to trade favors using a virtual currencyhttp://ushahidi.com/ Ushahidi is a non-profit tech company that develops free and open source software for information collection, visualisation and interactive mappingand discusses the possibility of using this software for organising community based initiatives.It's worth a look - I'd be interested to hear other people's thoughts.
