Absolutely worth exploring. Does anyone have any experience with this sort of thing? Can we use an existing model, such as state colleges, CCV, the extension service, etc.? Where is the cutoff? At what point do you say "The best we can do for region X, is location Y"? Idea: Perhaps there's no cutoff; we can do it in a totally open way that starts with a few and leaves the door wide open to further locations, depending on interest and how that interest can be translated into action. One more intersection between this idea (many sites) and others mentioned: The idea of *both* logical (ex: software or networking) projects *and* physical projects is a great one. Though, as Negroponte noted, it's more efficient and less expensive to move electrons than atoms, so this presents more challenges - ideas? - Marc
