For 3 years I moderated the section of the European Union knowledgeboard.com on emotional intelligence. I found that naturally enough people wanted to talk about crises (and actionable learnings) in their own locality as well as communally whether people worldwide in other localities had similar experiences or collaboration soultions. I started threads within knowledgeboard by country, and every time anyone in my inbox mentioned a local crisis or emergent project/solution network, I pasted it into the country concerened. I did all of this as a volunteer. I invited local people to add comments. Most lurked even though the country threads became some of the best browsed. I was then accused by the administrators of knowledgeboard of creating too many threads that were more like "newsletters from me" because I was the main one putting content in ver months or even years in spite of this being pasted through what local observers from many communities had sent me. So I started collaboration knowledge city blogs around http://clubofcity.blogspot.com/ of which there are now over 100. Ideally local people take control of editing the whole sity blog once they see it has momentum
