Kate and Olly replied to Nate Cull's discussion 'Life after Ning?'
Perhaps it is worth investigating a more dynamic and complete use of the organic groups on the TransitionTowns.org.nz website? Groups could be opened up for users to make their own like they are here and activation of personal messaging systems too…
