As readers of my blog know, I think that in the nonprofit sector we need better knowledge management...of our knowledge management. We urgently need to take what we know about best practices and put it online in a way that's accessible to our colleagues. The world's most brilliant reference librarians, community organizers, and computer geeks need to get together and structure our knowledge in such a way that it shows up as usable answers to the questions that people actually ask.
That's one of the reasons why I get excited about projects oriented to online collaboration, such as NetSquared - not to mention Social Source Commons, Idealware, and Capaciteria.
And now some folks that I don't know from dotOrganize have come up with the Organizers Tool Crib. In about two minutes, you should exit my blog and go straight to this new resource. But first, I'd like to point out that the Organizers Tool Crib was launched around the same time as another of dotOrganize's projects, a report titled, "Online Technology for Social Change: From Struggle to Strategy." This is a team that has actually surveyed crucial constituencies about what they need,and formulated a plan of action that is based on those needs.
Way to go, dotOrganize!
