Let me see if I can't help out a good idea with this post. Clarence Fisher, after posting about the need for a tool "that would help global kids in global classrooms to connect with each other" posted a request on vcoder.com, a site where prospective programmers bid on requested projects. "We need a recommendation engine for students that would help them find other students around the world that they can learn with," he wrote. He received a bid and then created a widget on chipin.com to ask for donations to raise the $400 needed to pay the developer. All this seems like pretty good thinking so I've decided to link here to see if I can't help Fisher raise the money. No, he didn't ask me (and I probably would have said "no" had he asked).
