What if a village wants to do a digital culture project only?
The concept of digital culture is outlined here: http://www.greenstar.org/digital-culture/ Its concrete expression, in our first full-fledged project (along with a free digital music MP3 download), can be seen at: http://www.e-greenstar.com/Music-Sample/ http://www.e-greenstar.com/PK-artwork/ It is possible for Greenstar to develop a similar program with a qualified community, to market digital products and produce an immediate income stream. To do this, Greenstar may invest about $15,000 in production, packaging and website development. Such a solo project can work as a jump-start to a later, more full-fledged Community Center implementation, providing revenue to fund it and leverage to acquire matching funds from granting agencies. It can also provide Greenstar with valuable experience in the community, to assess whether a larger investment is justified, building trust between Greenstar and its partners in the village.
