I need to have something for the front page and I thought it would be a good exercise to focus on what ruralnet online is/will be. So homework for today is complete the following phrase in no more than 10 words:

be the online engine that drives rural development in the UK.

Logic:
- it's a place people can come to get services like Experts Online but they can also embed these services into their own websites
- it's a place people can register and say 'Yes, this is me and I work in this area but I do it over here.' ruralnet|online would then have to pull it this stuff that is being posted by this person elsewhere.
- it's a place where people can get hold of the tools they need to express their ideas and other people can find and comment on them.
- it's an aggregator of all things rural
- it's a place people can register and say 'Yes, this is me and I work in this area but I do it over here.' Keep me informed without making me visit ruralnet|online everyday.
