Ultimately, I think it will be all merged together into one resource.  Terry Reese and Kyle Bannerjee are working on this along with all sorts of great changes to the IUG Website.

For some entries, the entire content is in the description without links to other resources.  However, one of the real benefits of the Clearinghouse is the fact that you can see the live link along with the resource or the script.  The Clearinghouse is at (http://www.innovativeusers.org/clearinghouse).

As we focus more and more on social software and collaborate authorship through blogs, wikis, etc., we want and need to do a better job of capturing the combined wisdom and knowledge of the people who are in the system every day.
