That's right, Jon. I stopped working on it when it was suggested that WiserEarth had already developed a better list.
I'm still not decided on this. WiserEarth is more comprehensive and will continue to expand and be updated. It is a really useful resource for a people wishing to find out about useful organisations that are working in any given country in the world.
But I'd been planning on including in the WWC listings not only links to organisations working in a given country, but links to the specific areas in the country where they were working. In this way, people could easily find examples of projects already operating in their allocated partner areas and perhaps plan ways of supporting these. I'd still like to do that, but with apportionment continuing to be my priority right now, I'm not sure that continuing work on the nonprofitslist is still time well spent.
As it stands, and if a more complete list were compiled, it would at least point to the countries in which, let's say, nonprofits X, Y or Z are currently working in. That would be useful.
The next stage that I planned was to contact the listed organisations, sending them lists of the partner areas for the countries in which they were were working and asking them if they could specify exactly in which areas their projects were located.
That way, when a particular area was allocated, people living in its partner area would have an immediate link to organisations already operating there and if they wished could start planning ways to offer their support of these projects.
So if anyone want to take a look at the nonprofitslist workpage and work on it in any way that would be great!
Please add PCWF to the list Jon (or I can add it myself). Better still, could you add the WWC number(s) for the area(s) in whihc PCWF is operating?
Thanks, Jon, for pointing out that I'd not transferred the nonprofitslist workpage to ned.com. Pleae let me know if you are still having difficulty in accessing it.
