The authors describe how a joint project with the Aboriginal Walkatjurra Cultural Centre in Australia, Curtin University of Technology and University of British Columbia Okanagan have been exploring the use of Web 2.0 tools to help revitalise culture and enhance community development.

The authors discuss the importance of intellectual property rights when using Web 2.0 tools for development. They describe a project working with Canadian communities to revitalise their language.
