[Campaigns-l] Political Networking

[Silona Bonewald]

Hey Jimbo... doesn't the concepts behind Chad's diagram look familiar :-)

I am hoping that the league will be able to track all four elements you 
mention by combining blogging (issues), social network (individuals) and 
community tools (thereby adding the groups and events aspect.)

I will be doing a programmer lockin Oct 13-15 on open source tool 
development for this NPO and others in Austin Texas.

Know anyone that would be interested in helping on development?  Do you 
think you could make it Chad? It sounds like you have a ton of 
information to contribute and would be really interested in the project 
scope and feature set I have been working on.  I looked at your 
information from 2004 and we have some seriously common ground.  I have 
to admit I am designing something a bit more complex :-)   I guess 
nothing we do is ever original since you conceptualized something 
similar in 2004.

Jimbo and I had an insightful discussion about community in regards to 
my design at SXSW this year.  Hence the reason I am here.  I am spying 
for information we can incorporate and share in the true spirit of 
transparency.  I'm honestly one of those people that believes the more 
transparent our governmental processes become - the more honest they 
will be.

Cheers,
Silona
