   I was very taken with Nick Booth’s suggestion yesterday that there might be a way to get lots of input from organisations who are great examples of how digital mentoring is happening already in communities around the country. This could be done online with some kind of tool or database with a YouTube like ranking and rating system.

   I’m sure the partners in this bid could build this now and promote it through our networks.

   Does anyone have any ideas how this might work?

   Here’s a an example of an aggregator which uses tags and search to find the content and then a voting system to rate it.

   Again simple aggregators can use search and tagging to find material. If someone spots something online which looks like a potential demonstrator they could for example tag it digitalmentor in the links service called delisious and tthen that would appear in the aggregator. This one finds (just about) everything to do with a performance called Of All the People of All the World and tagged thericeshow

   Up Yer Brum runs on Pligg, which is open source software and as such could be up and running relatively quickly.

   I had hoped that the Digitalmentor.org wiki might be used for this purpose, but I don’t think it is really user friendly enough, sadly.
