Brilliant. If you have some time to keep us posted on how it works out re engagement, that would be much appreciated.

The site looks fascinating. Will carve out some time to explore. Just to get on your radar, Consider the results of outputting topics in Print for the local high school teachers. Teachers go to the site, choose the topics they want for their class. Three days later they get 30 paperbacks to give the kids. The kids use highlighters for the interesting and confusing stuff. The teacher collects the books to base instruction and as evidence that the kids did what they were supposed to do. Trust me. The print tech is well defined and pretty easy to implement. I would be very happy to volunteer with a some online PM and mentoring. The potential upside is that the newspaper might find a new market in a weekly reader on steroids that is focused on local economic development. Supported by ads from non profits, health organizations and government public service announcements. It's good to see you back. The site looks fascinating. Will carve out some time to explore.
