Links to various websites in the local online news/community building world

Here are some websites which are working to help grow the local online news/community world. Persephone Miel (with a little help from Bill Densmore) compiled this during the Nov. 20, 2008 phone call of the Journalism That Matters "stewards." This site may be edited by any viewer to add additional information.
