DFALink like software (chapter based organizing)
Describe your challenge:
Hello,
We would like our grassroots organizers (Communities United to Save Darfur) to be able to easily create their own chapter sites. Ideally, folks would be able to go to our home page and type in their zip code. If they find a local group, they could sign up. If they do not find a group, they could create their own.
We are currently using Democracy in Action, and while they “technically” have this option - the tools are hardly “point-and-click” and only one of our almost 200 groups has been able to produce a website.
Does anyone know of tools out there like www.dfalink.org?
I think DFALink was created by Blue State Digital, but are there similar open-source programs out there that are as easy to use for the end user (no programming skills at all required)?
Thanks,
Noah
how about turning something good into something extraordinary
Describe your idea:
NABUUR.COM has created something special and probably unique: the possibility for Local Communities around the world to bring specific problems to the attention of concerned 'Neighbours' around the world, who then jointly solve that problem via the Internet.
The basic tools, procedures and systems are in place. 79 local communities now take part. 200 local communities will be served by the end of 2006, 1000 by the end of 2007, many more after that. Given the number of people that would like to engage directly with a meaningful cause, this will become an enormous force for the good. But we need your help to get there.
The flow on the site needs to become much more fluent, fun, transparent, effective. Wiki's, maps, video's, stories, rss feeds, etc probably need to be added. What needs to be done first? Who can do it? Who is willing to make this happen in the next two years?
