* Do you represent any other projects? o If yes, repeat the questions for this new project * Do you have any questions about or suggestions for OpenKollab? * How can we reach you in the future? * Have you joined the Google Group? o If no, help them join the group From OpenKollab/Intake Interview:

The questions go into an interactive account creation module to seed a data table for the user account. Tacked onto the end is an invitation to join the OpenKollab Google Group which is required for full participation. In order to get the most from OK, one benefits by having an account at google of some kind. Google profiles, sites, docs, calendars, maps and other tools reside in the google domain but are (or shall be) fully represented (tracked) by the OK/API. Wikiversity participants can represent Wikiversity at Google and/or themselves as individuals, either separate or as agents of Wikiversity. This is similar to Wikiversity "camps" on Facebook, Twitter, WiserEarth and YouTube.

Suresh also is working on a questionnaire aligned thusly: ...a technology platform to stimulate and facilitate collaboration amongst smaller organizations and projects...
