Sat, 12/09/2006 - 6:39pm — WFC AdminThank you for visiting Women Founders Collective (WFC) website, a work in progress. This website is built using a powerful, open-source "content management system" called Drupal. With Drupal, organizations such as WFC can quickly and at little cost, launch interactive, content-driven websites. Anyone with a username and password (obtained through the "contact us" request) can log into this site using a web browser from anywhere in the world, add content and participate in discussions on topics that are relevant to both women founders and those women thinking of starting an NGO.
In the coming months, we expect to take advantage of the many tools Drupal offers to create a dynamic online community for women founders globally. How each woman chooses to make use of WFC is her decision. WFC is open to the variety of needs and concerns that are brought to this site. In time, we expect to have a multiple language program available on this website, opening up the world of women founders to many more nationalities.
