The Orton Family Foundation just released a RFP to help them build their Community Almanac - an online mapping platform that helps communities to capture their assets or heart&soul. 

From the RFP: ... as stories, pictures and videos emerge during communities’heart and soul articulation processes, and as technologies ever simplify thedigital capture and depiction of such information on maps, the Foundation wouldlike to offer the ability for its project communities and communities at largeto utilize simple open source or Web 2.0 technology to build online, digitalcommunity almanacs. These community almanacs would be digital maps (perhapsGIS-derived, but not requiring active GIS to use) to (1) depict the communityor county in which the project is located, (2) "easily" collect,display and manage community stories, pictures, graphics and videos throughuploads by people in the community, and (3) make these stories and picturesreadily accessible to all citizens through hotlinks on the map and/or otherintuitive interface components.
