		<description><![CDATA[Hi Dr Geoff, it&#039;s different from the eplaya in that it&#039;s a more focused, direct way for people to connect around creating projects ... a simple listing service without the distraction of the wide variety of discussions going on the eplaya.  Also, it has features that the eplaya doesn&#039;t that facilitate this process.

We created this system because we saw a need, as the community grows and people&#039;s projects become more ambitious, for helping folks find a way to get engaged, connect with each other, and participate in creativity.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So how is this different from e-playa? Or the mailing lists? Why is there yet another interace for people to exchange ideas, questions, and recruit camp members?

Is is this a reaction to the ticket fiasco? Is this a &quot;yes, our process gutted your camp head count, but dont fret, we will give you this sparkly interface to fill the gaps&quot;

Or perhaps we just follow &#039;wranler&#039;s lead and post our project right here in the comments.

Change and stirring things up is a good thing, but how many new tools do we need?]]></description>
