Yesterday, which was a rainy Saturday in Southeastern Finland, I started building a collection of "evaluations" of the Seventh World Social Forum, Nairobi, January 2007. Why? Because I wanted to "evaluate" the event myself and thus needed to read what others have thought and said. Another obvious reason is that wsflibrary.org should have such "evaluations" and make them available to its visitors and readers. A third reason, connected with the first one, i my feeling that the process of the social forum has reached a crossroads. As can be seen from the results of my efforts sofar - presented in the table of contents below - one of the "evaluators", Walden Bello, has also given this title to his contribution:
