Lots of interest at ECF08...

There was lots of interest in the idea of a Campaigning 'Cool Tool Pool' at ECF08, but we had only a little time to explore the possibilities. Now it is time to start working through the issues and details.
At ECF08 a large group of us revived this idea and started talking about it. Some of the issues that came out were:
- How it needs to be 'lead' by a project manager if it is to go beyond the concept / talking stage - and most likely a freelancer (given the burden on NGO staff)
- Using free services like Google (e.g. Google Maps) and Yahoo (e.g. Flickr, Pipes) is good for having a fast turnaround, but has ethical considerations associated with the activities of these organisations.
- We need to develop a shortlist of applications all pool 'members' agree on so that each will get the benefit of the pooled tools.
- Any other points I missed?
