Just Do It! Charting the Progress of the Global Women's Network wiki.



I initially started this blog to stand alongside the work I was doing on setting up the Global Women's Network (GWN) wiki. For the last four years, I've been incrementally working on creating a site which could house the largest information source on women's and and girl's organizations around the world.

While I worked on the site, I always had one foot in and one foot out....scared of diving in with two feet. I'll be using the blog to chart my jump, the development of GWN and what I learn as I work to develop it.....from concept notes, recruiting volunteers and interns, attempting to create viral content, working on a shoe string budget, balancing a day job while I do it, and all the other things that I don't even know I will learn along the way. I've met others that have successfully done this....and I'm hoping that charting this process will help others who also have similar goals of turning their dream, their project, their NGO into a reality.
