Puneet,

Thanks also for the summary.

I was wondering: was there good representation from the collaborative 
computing / CSCW communities? Being a CSCW person myself, my concern is 
that a solid understanding of "volunteered information" is critical 
before geography can be added -- i.e., understanding human nature is 
critical to the success or failure of any "VI" endeavor, geographic or 
otherwise.

These thoughts are fleshed out a bit more in the position paper I 
submitted: 
<http://www.ncgia.ucsb.edu/projects/vgi/docs/supp_docs/PriedhorskyReid_paper.pdf>.

Thanks,

Reid
