The idea of not only making the community aware but also to involve it has always been there but the problem of HOW always stood in the way. CVU is a one of the solutions which addresses this problem. However, one has to de-construct certain terms like "activists". The present usage and meaning is very exclusionary. Anyway CVU is a very innovative concept and i think more and more efforts should be made to popularise it.
