Hi Rob, long time no see!

Just wanted your thoughts for a potential article. 

We're running two linked projects with water catchment management authorities (government bodies who's job is to manage our minimal water down here - http://www.gbcma.vic.gov.au and http://www.ccma.vic.gov.au). The work revolves around establishing wiki and social media componentsfor their strategy development process, in order to engender more genuine internal and stakeholder collaboration. (The current focus is a 'regional catchment strategy' which is a 6 year plan with a 20 year horizon.) We're also leveraging the two projects against each other for transparent collaboration and development cost savings (working with two gov agencies in collaboration is a first for me!).

Do you think writing up something about these projects would be suitable? Happy to provide more info.

Cheers and hope you're well,
