Saleem, welcome to the Collaboratory! It's great to have someone of your stature and experience a part of our community.
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

What kind of help/insight do you hope to get from this community?
Share knowledge and ideas about concrete ways to innovate and transform news for a sustainable future.
