Search strategy for specific kinds of social innovation?

I'm pondering _how to find_ companies, academics, foundations, granting organizations, or non-profit organizations that are doing innovative, exploratory, or results-based work to help communities, small, large, and global, build trust and communication to actually solve fundamental society-affecting problems. (I mean, more systematically than reading Metafilter and watching TED Talks.) [more inside]

Easy Python CGI web database?

I know I've seen projects like this for Perl, and they probably exist for PHP (PHPMyAdmin is only so-so), but: is there an open source Python project somewhere that will let me set it up on my shared hosting and quickly configure a front end to a MySQL database? I want to be able to add/modify/delete/query/sort, make the input form compact and helpful, and show listings in a multi-line/custom/pretty format. [more inside]

Word parts and/or rules for combining them (morphemes?)

Looking for a database of word parts to feed into this program, possibly with a set of accompanying rules. English or any other language (ideally with phonetic representations). [more inside]

How do I find information about cat personality research?

Librarians? Anyone? I'm looking for information on describing and/or predicting cat personality characteristics. I've been trying to find a library (or otherwise borrowable) copy of the ASPCA's "Meet Your Match Feline-ality guide" somewhere, or science/research/articles about it. No hits in WorldCat. Is it hopeless? [more inside]
