I think the first step is to set up a project in the Portal:Projects. Once we have a "home" we can ask in the community for others that are interested or have pointers.
Funding might not be so crucial at this point but it may be needed to develop a rigorous methodology. Without one the trial will not be helpful in the scientific community...

defining the project[edit | edit source]
- problem definition:
- GEM seems successful
- GEM is not well known and not practised/employed
- barriers
& enabler 
- GEM has not been scientifically verified/studied
- find partner with scientific capability to demonstrate effectiveness
- wide scepticism
- GEM goes against common teachings of eliminating stagnant water
- develop visual/interactive/etc. aid to explain working of method
- make it viral (online)? make it fun?
- document case studies
- document endorsements from reputable institutions and/or individuals
- simplicity: near zero cost, near zero effort
