When fellows.rdvp.org fails to respond, you can always access the collaboration framework directly at http://rdvp.fellownies.org

Apparently the old rdvp server is having difficulties and there seem to be delays with setting up the new server for rdvp.org. If rdvp.org is down, there is no access to our collabortion framework via fellows.rdvp.org.

Users can create their own groups to collaborate, get in touch and share information. The creator of each group can decide if membership is only by invitation; if approval is required for becoming a member or if the group is open to everyone. In addition, he/she can choose to have this group listed in the new users registration form and in the list of groups or choose to maintain it hidden and not list it anywhere on the site. Also, whem a member of a group posts information on the site, he's presented now with the option to make that information accessible to the public or only to the groups he belongs and selects.

Our collaboration Framework is meant to:

Help everyone Quickly Stay Informed and Inform Others

You can easily stay informed on other fellows' work, advances and activities, and inform them on yours.

• The homepage displays the later blog posts, forum discussions, events, polls and announcements by other fellows.

Help Sharing of information, resources, events, links with other fellows.

• Fellows can easily post and share diverse information in a single place and access it by categories, geographic region, project team, etc.

Help Fellows benefit from the research, work and findings of others and keep track of them..

• You can stay informed of a project's advances by subscribing to its group.
• Every fellow has a personal page with links to all the content they post and contact information. (see the track tab on the profile page displayed when you click on the picture or name of any fellow).

Improve Collaboration and Interaction.

• Regardless of time and space.

We are committed to providing as much support as necessary to empower social entrepreneurs and facilitate the success of their projects through collaboration and information technologies.
