Join the Development Discussion
The Common Turf website will help people to find opportunities to collaborate with those in other industries and exchange specialist knowledge. People will create: profiles - who they are / their skills & fields of expertise projects - what they're working on / who they're looking to meet or recruit They can:      search and match skills      publish projects and collaborate with others      connect, exchange, network The matching will be project-driven. Rather than being defined by past experience, people will ‘meet’ based on shared visions. This will give the site a forward-looking and innovative quality. But this is where Common Turf should end and where other sites bring so much more. Once a connection is made people will invariably want to move on with their projects. They might want to move to a short-film or theatre network that enables them to market, produce or distribute their work. A framework is needed that allows people to opt in to other sites so that their profile ‘migrates’. No more duplicate profiles, no additional passwords to remember.
