Hi folks,
I just wanted to let ye know about a FreeShare project I've tried to
start in Dublin, Ireland. The website is http://ie.uk.to/ .

The idea was to focus on 'shareable' - as opposed to non-shareable,
but recyclable - goods (at least in the beginning), but the project
really hasn't taken off unfortunately. Feel free to take a look
anyway.

Also, I actually decided to use a website - with a Content Management
System - for the project, as opposed to a mailing-list/Yahoo Groups.
For anyone who might be interested in adopting a similar approach for
their own project, I have drafted a 'How-to' - which you can access
here: http://ie.uk.to/index.php/start_a_project . The guide is also
available in downloadable PDF format here:
http://ie.uk.to/downloads/start_a_project.pdf .

All the best

About the project
You are here: >> About the project
This project is for the sharing/lending of items such as tools,
books, equipment etc. that a person might have lying around but
aren't using. The project is not about lending items for money.
Essentially, it is about lending items for free.

Although the project is mainly for shareable goods at the moment, an
option to search for/request non-shareable goods might be added at
some stage - if the project becomes active. Listings for services
(a 'Help offered/needed' section) is another facility which could be
introduced.

Before using the site, you can read a bit more about it here. You
can register here. Since this project is somewhat experimental, the
site may be changing regularly. If you're having any problems, or
have feedback or suggestions, you can contact the webmaster here.
