Well, I'm happy to initiate it whenever collaboration threads start on
the main forum. Or, alternatively, I'm open to any suggestions.

New Media Knowledge - grant maintained body promoting the New Media
cause generally. They have a Freelance Network. If other groups are
doing a similar thing to what we're doing on this forum, then it seems
worthwhile collaborating with them too.

It would be great if they did, and benefitially to us and them. I'm
guessing that some will prefer to use their own online portfolio
though, and I wouldn't necessarily want to exclude those people at
this stage. If people don't want to do a Freelancers.net profile,
they'll just end up doing a bad one to get through the forms, and that
won't help anyone.

Remember - it's not a case of 'no going back'. If things don't work
out, we still have a list of the current members, so we can all slope
off and go back to the good old days!
