you guys make me laugh out loud ;)

Threshold is the foundation we already applied for funding from (and are 
in the evaluation process with).  The person who is evaluating our 
project from the Threshold Foundation (and who I spoke with on the phone 
last week) is Jim - he is super interesting fellow, involved with both 
Permaculture and interactive media, definitely compatible with our 
interests.  And he works at Planetwork, which is why I wanted you to 
check it out (so you could get a better understanding of what he does).

And as for the Pew Foundation - although we are not doing original 
research, we would provide a mechanism collecting, sharing, and 
presenting original research, so perhaps this would suit their mission.  
I'll inquire....

enjoy earth day!

peace

Wonderful lead, Lawrence.  

Are we interested in applying?  I wrote to them to ask about their 
application process because I couldn't find the info on their website.

What do people think of Threshold and Planetwork?  Has Jim contacted 
anyone?

Enjoy the Gaia*Lovin tomorrow (although, of course, "every day is earth 
day")

peace

We're actually intending to create something that would be a resource and 
have
consequences (effects, whatever - any word but 'impact' please...), not
researching existing resources and their consequences or effects.

And, if it looks to you like we're qualified when checking the details, 
it's
fine by me!

Took a brief look at planetwork.net - they seem to be flying at 30,000 
feet,
maybe even higher - couldn't find much closer to the ground than that.

Threshold I dunno what that is - did I miss a mail with link somewhere?

cheers,
John S.

Too right. From that perspective, we must seem very rooted and solid.
We could be in with a chance!
