Hi Thomas,

I believe those two lists contain projects that you can work on.

Those ones are the established, bigger, project
http://okfn.org/projects/

And those are the lab projects, more of tools.
http://okfnlabs.org/projects/


You can also have a look at the project ideas posted here.
https://github.com/okfn/ideas/issues?direction=desc&sort=created&state=open


For the news and what's going on, I can feel your pain, there are numerous
of blogs to follow here.
http://blog.okfn.org/
http://planet.okfn.org/
http://okfnlabs.org/
http://schoolofdata.org/blog/

No, is there really a difference between OKF and OKFN? I thought the former
is just an abbreviation for the latter which I guess stands for Open
Knowledge Foundation Network.
