this project is close to my heart and similar to my desire to rejuvenate active engagement with State political issues. It would be good to be able to share ideas and common interests via internet linkages across space/time/groups, thus slightly tweaking the old adage "link globally, act locally"

Love this. In addition to "What is the social need or challenge your idea could address?"... This also helps organise & fully utilise untapped resources (skills, interests, gifts, time, money etc) available in communities at large, and channel them toward causes, problem-solving & tangible solutions. Many good ideas and intentions remain just that; not acted upon because of the challenges or a lack of ease in harnessing necessary resources. This makes it easier to match resources up with ideas & problem-solving efforts. It can give people a greater sense of meaning to know that they are contributing in a real way to something that makes a difference. After all, as Margaret Mead famously said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." I see this idea facilitating little "action-groups" that come together to do something about the things they care about.
