How to participate remotely in the IGF (Score 2, Informative)

The IGF's official Web site is notoriously useless. A few members of the IGF community have begun a grassroots effort (under the banner of the Online Collaboration Dynamic Coalition) to produce a community Web site at igf-online.net to redress the problem. The new site already hosts a number of useful resources including a community blog, wiki, calendar, chat and needs feeds, most of which were selected for their capacity to support multilingual usage. It also features a specially-designed menu running along the top of most pages of the site, that links in external Web sites including the Secretariat's official Web site and that of the Rio hosts. By registering (or logging in with your existing OpenID) you can begin posting on the community blog, adding events to the calendar, and entering information on the wiki. Hosting of other content will be accommodated on request. Volunteers are needed to help with translating the site's content into other languages, designing a complementary set of themes, and spreading the word.
