Thanks for responding to my comment. Pleased to encounter the author.

We plan to read the book and then maybe will comment further. Had a little trouble with Lulu the first time we tried to buy it, but will persevere.

I deliberately used the phrase “as described here” because I wanted to inspire people with a specific vision of regionally-focussed platforms with multiple functions that attract cross-sectoral participation. Something that brings together ‘under one roof’ all of the great tools we now have available but specifically for local benefit. Hope that clarifies.

Might not be exactly “as described here”, but lots of similar map apps exist, as well as building blocks for development of new ones.

To toot our own horn,

Open source, take it and run.
(But we don’t believe in the free market fairy…)

I expect others to chime in with better examples.
