As an editorial board member for Projects @ Work, I thought you might be interested in it. I don't use the Projects@Work website any more because of their user agreement. Particularly, it is this clause: <i>By uploading materials to any Forum or submitting materials to Projects @ Work, you automatically grant (or warrant that the owner of such rights has expressly granted) Projects @ Work, whether in your name or not, a perpetual, royalty-free, irrevocable, non-exclusive right and license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, sublicense, transfer and distribute such materials or incorporate such materials in any form, medium or technology now known or later developed throughout the universe. In addition, you warrant that so-called "moral rights" in those materials have been waived.</i> This is a particularly limiting clause and I cannot give my consent to this use of my potential contributions to the Projects @ Work community. I hope you can get it changed! Mike Hal, This post is off-topic, but it is important to note, as it pertains to the registration requirement for Projects @ Work.
