i think one of the reasons we started the blog was to have a more public discussion of where WLE is going. WLE is not only IWMI but a number of partners (starting with the 14!). How do we get the discussion going. Where is the virtual coffee table where all partners and others can test out new ideas. Isnt that what WLE is about -- going beyond our own thinking but harnessing the knowledge of all our partners?
We could see the blog as a space to start testing ideas. Just as we test out new technologies and approaches, we need a space to test out our new ideas. This could be part of the research process unto itself. Testing out ideas, getting feedback, building a coalition and then going out to carry out.
