*** Democracies Online Newswire - http://dowire.org *** *** Headlines from top blogs: http://dowire.org/feeds ***
Behind the scenes I am working away on the transition to GroupServer. That open source tool will be soon upgraded to .9 and we'll be open for business for the Newswire and interactive groups at: http://groups.dowire.org This is important because most of you expect full-text e-mails of posts and going to the blog is "work" for busy people. In the meantime, despite the low e-mail volume, I am continuing to feed the blog: http://dowire.org/notes And the home page is now a dynamically generated "what's new" from across the site: http://dowire.org So normally, only 1 out of 20 DoWire posts are "hello from Steve posts" but, here is a quick update. Next Speaking/Meeting Trip - April 25 - May 2 April 25 - New York City I may be in New York with my volunteer E-Democracy.Org Board Chair hat on. If you work for a grant-making organization and would like to attend an informational session on the potential of Issues Forums to cut against the tide of national partisan vitriol and rebuild a democracy that brings people together one community at a time, drop me a note: [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you'd like to start an Issues Forum in an East Coast community, read <http://e-democracy.org/if> and drop me a note as well. April 26 - London I am checking in with my London contacts and developing proposals for new and interesting projects.
