Abstract

Renfrewshire Council for Voluntary Services (RCVS) is involved in a large-scale project to investigate and develop a wireless network in Paisley and its environs. This exciting project has implications for many different actors and stakeholders, not the least, RCVS itself as its members contemplate its future possible practices, processes and services that a successful wireless network may enable. Seeing connections, possibilities, and potential developments as well as keeping an eye on the on-going purpose and objectives of RCVS are challenging tasks.
