Introduction/about: The New Civilization Network (NCN) is a meeting place for people of good will who are working on building a world that works for all of us. A world of increased quality of life, freedom, fun and inspiration for all. A world where the needs of all of humanity are met.

NCN is a place where you can find people to work with and where you can share your experiences with others.

NCN is not an organization. It is a database of people and a lot of facilities intended to help you find what you need and collaborate with others when appropriate.

This is an open space. Move in and talk about what you want to do. Find other who want to do similar things. Get busy. Use the virtual workgroup facilities if you need them.

This is an experiment in self-organization. Nobody will tell you what you’re supposed to do, but you will probably find support and friendly ears, and possibly you’ll find collaborators.

If you are interested, register through an an on-line form http://www.newciv.org/ncn/ncnjoin.html
