Progress at Idealist.Org

In 2002, this established web site started to build the network discussed in the "Do you want to play?" document. Margaret (Brooklyn, New York) and Doug (Havertown, Pennsylvania) were the first to sharing ideas about help centers on the Idealist bulletin boards.

Use the boards to update each other on what's happening at your centers/ meetings.
