To do:
 * -> 3rd person
 * external "reliable sources" (e.g. newspapers)
 * Small number of links to key content on COTW sites; lots of links from "reliable" 3rd party sites.
 * Focus on film rather than movement, for now. (more notable, likely to have clearer sources)

Background
The Coalition started as a film and has grown into a movement. The film proposes an open source approach to the war on global warming. We are exploring the social and technological dimensions of this vision, while broadening the message to speak to the concerns of a range of campaigns and organizations. We are advocates of open, sustainable culture.

The Coalition film proposes using the Internet for three areas of work, each with a different function and audience.


 * A Catalyst Network - connecting you with action groups in your community and around the world.
 * An Open Innovation Platform - new open source design for change.
 * A Green Knowledge Trust - the practical knowledge, the answers you need.

There are many people, groups and initiatives working in these areas and there is much to be gained by developing methods for them to easily work together. We are gathering insights from existing and proposed systems in order to distinguish patterns of use and growth potential for optimized application and interoperability. Please submit your ideas, experiences, and any reference material or project websites to one of the three category pages above.
