What kind of help/insight do you hope to get from this community?
oh wow not sure. I am Web Managing Editor at the Reynolds Center for Business Journalism which is privately funded group based at Arizona State University. We offer free training for business journalists. I will be redoing the Web site into a news/training/community site. I'd love all the input I can get.
I think we should use the RJI Collaboratory incubator to develop:
Building blocks for geographic- or topic-based local Web news sites, "How-To" handbook, Backgrounder on web advertising, Systems to match ads to relevant news content, Standardized platform for mobile apps, Twitter as tool for news sites to channel local business

Welcome to the Collaboratory Robin! It's nice to have another Reynolds-affiliated person aboard. I'm betting that we'll learn as much from you and you may learn from us.
To make it easier to get around the network, we've got a "How We're Using This Site" page that provides more detail on the different areas of the Collaboratory and the ways to make best use of them to not only share ideas, but to get projects up and running: http://rjicollab.ning.com/page/how-were-using-this-site.

Anyway, poke around a bit and if you don't see the conversation you want to have or the project you think matters, feel free to start it.
Thanks for joining us! Adam Glenn on behalf of the RJI Collaboratory
