[p2p-research] VERY urget request for Ning

[Michel Bauwens]

Thanks for the tips Richard.

Sam, didn't you propose ellg yourself?

can I seen a model community that's on there already?

at the very least, we could port the addresses, and see from there,

I think the archives are less important, than the ability to continue to
communicate, though some people, like Sepp, may want to archive the active
discussions that were held?

Michel
