Hi Henrik (and all),
Apologies for not keeping the list up to speed...
We have just herd that Allmänna arvsfonden will aim to put us in their September the 7th funding meeting. We have asked them for two thirds of the funding and I want to keep the project quiet until I hear the outcome of that. We do have one third funding from Ungdomsstyrelsen so the project will definitely happen!
We have named the project "forge" - The forge project offers Swedish youth a toolkit by which they can create their own Internet based communities.
I will not release the site until after the 7th of September, but you are all welcome to take a look at it at http://www.forge.nu/index.php . I will of course assemble volunteers to translate it to Swedish before release.
Any feedback welcome. I can tell you that already youth centres from Bromma, Fruängen and Tensta have approached us so things are looking very good so far!
Any feedback welcome.

Is this funding cleared. Can I say you have received the money or do you have anything* to check before I do that?

Hi Henrik,
The money is in our bank account:) .. yup... ungdomsstyrelsen has funded a free software project [everyone reach for glass of beer now]
We will know on the 7th of September whether we have funding from Allmänna arvsfonden. At this point the project will be "launched and official".
