I created a site called learnfrom.it which is coming down tomorrow since i got busy with other stuff. But if you guys want i can put it back up so people can contribute. Aside from being busy it was hard to get people to contribute so if people volunteer i'll keep it up and change the cstegories so its tech focus.

Check out the site and let me know

You could set up a Tumblr blog in about two seconds. And Tumblr blogs are set up for group collaboration; it's easy for multiple people to submit articles. You can make one or multiple people admins that approve the articles. Tumblr doesn't have a native commenting system, but it just takes a few clicks to install Disqus.

I currently write an article or two every now and then over at http://tech.navarr.me/. I'd love to work on a more collaborative project, where I can write every now and then and not be part of a dead corner of the net.

Sounds great. I'm not regular at it but still I would love to make occasional contributions. My contact details are in my profile.

That sounds like a great idea! I'd be quite interested. (Email in profile - keep me posted if you put together a mailing list or whatever.)

Pull requests would be awesome. We've got something similar to this for the UtahJS community.

I'm confused; without any explanation of why you are posting this link here, it appears you are trying to trick people into thinking that this is the collaborative tech blog proposed in the submission, unless it is, in which case you could use a little help with the messaging on the landing page.

EDIT: Okay, I see your comment elsewhere on the page. You should probably post this as a child of that comment to avoid confusion.
