As you might know, Jonas and I and a few other people have been discussing an project called Bloggers Without Borders. It's been in the works for the past month or so but Jonas has been working tripple time in the past few days to launch it and do some good right away. The site is now live and the mission is at hand:

"We have found our compassion in this one. Yet, one thing remains and is badly needed, says a friend of mine who just arrived in Sri Lanka and will be contributing what he learned in eight years in Uniform. People. Not the odd-job bystander, not the “activist”, and certainly not the journalist. What is needed most, today, are qualified specialists. Demolitions experts to safely destroy dangerous structures, Doctors, guys and gals who know how to handle a syringe or a gun. The latter is needed more and more as the looting increases and food and medical supplies are being raided by black marketers."

That's from Jonas's first post and the forums are now up as well. We'll have more on this very soon but it's clear if we want to do something, now is the time for it to happen.
