Users would submit their RSS feeds witch would then be rated and ranked by the public. Sort of like DIGG but dedicated to cities. The home page would have customizable preferences like weather, my feeds etc... The user would then go to moncton.citizenville.com to find all that is happening in the Moncton area etc... Thanks, Sebastien Hi Derek,

I'm going to give this at least another week, so don't expect a decision before Jan 15. Some good ideas so far!

I'm in the process of developing a web development practice to support non-profits. The dream being to work from home so that I can move back to live in NB. I use mostly Drupal at the moment, but am opened to anything the client requires. I have this huge itch to start a citizen-driven news site, where people can post, promote/demote news, run blogs, basically where they can connect and communicate. I've been trying to figure out a name lately, and I happened to mention it to Harold Jarche (http://www.jarche.com) who pointed me to your post here. It's definitely a good name for what I want to do. :) Thanks for considering my request, please ask if you need more information from me. Gerard Hi,

I haven't found a good name or domain for it yet, however Citizenville has a nice ring to it. What do you think? Let me know. Thanks, Zach Hey Derek,

Either citizen journalism, or location-based resources of some kind - like the best places (hotels, sight-seeing) to go for families, for example. Each blog would be staffed by a different author or series of authors dedicated to that topic. So to recap, the blogs would be something like politics.citizenville.com, education.citizenville.com or halifax.citizenville.com, toronto.citizenville.com etc. Although I have tons on my plate at the moment, those were the first things to come to mind.
