(ISF) The Myth of Bleeding Edge

Dear ISF Colleagues,

Check out this article by Tate Hausman of DotOrganize, published in
the N-TEN blog:

"The Myth of Bleeding Edge"
<http://nten.org/blog/2007/02/13/the-myth-of-bleeding-edge-vs-basic-needs>

Here's a nugget that I really like a lot:

"It's easy to get wrapped up in the excitement of bleeding edge tools.
But what social change organizations really need is enterprise class
software that meets their needs at affordable prices. That doesn't
require bleeding edge technology. But delivering that at prices that
nonprofits can afford, now that would be bleeding edge.";

Best regards from Deborah

with your god?" (Micah 6:8)
