I would think that communication really is key to understanding each
others' goals. A combined list of all email lists would allow all members
to participate in the activity of other members to help create "symbiotic,
synergistic" effects. Which, IMHO, is what schoolforge is all about.

These web pages are generated dynamically out of a database. We simply
create some more categories and allow members to enter the URL's and
descriptions for any of these categories, such as news, rdf/rss
syndication links, etc. as the members see as being appropriate.
