I've been thinking about them a bit in the context of the needs of the Katrina evacuees, those who will be reamining in the Gulf Coast, and those who will be spread around the country in a mass migration comparable to the Mississippi River floods of 1927 - when much of the Mississippi Delta Region and Greenville, Miss. appears to have moved to Chicago. It would certainly facilitate the process if there were Internet supported information/training centers that could function in "settlement house" and "concierge" functions. Have written some concept papers that expand upon these ideas for you and others who may be interested.
