There's an article in the October 2010 J of Q and Participation that may be of interest to those engaged in the NP sector in one way or another. The article is a survey of innate motivation factors for consideration in managing people. This may be of interest to those employed in the NP sector, and those looking to recruit and/or engage volunteers. Read it at: http://asq.org/quality-participation/2010/10/career-development/the-keys-to-turbo-charging-intrinsic-motivation.pdf

Scott, while I haven't used Huddle either, I have used the similar product Basecamp for a variety of professional and volunteer projects. I find that the most significant piece of the puzzle (not surprisingly) is the human factor. The extent to which a web-based collaboration/project management space is going to be useful is substantially a function of the extent to which other members of the team are willing to use it. I'm beginning to fell that the suite of Google products may have some general advantages here, chiefly the comfort-level of many people with the apps, and the frequency with which people use them for other purposes. Also, as a former cartographer, I really like the ability to integrate maps and other spatial products into the mix. That said, the Google Sites template for project websites is a bit of a lemon, in my opinion.
