Henry Farrell sez:
The US Department of State wants hackers to help build civil society  
in the Middle East and Africa. They're offering up to $2.5 million in  
grants for pilot projects that use wikis, blogs and social networking  
platforms to connect and educate young people and improve civic  
participation.
