So, I'm up this
morning and reading the messages in the "Secret Surprise" blog.
RIDEBOARD
One person suggested
a ride board for Dean events. Is there such a ride board up? Should
we get something like that going in DeanSpace?
Again, in spite of
being a high tech person, I like quick, somewhat low tech solutions at
times.
For example.
Could we have a Rideboard blog? Each public event from the Governor's
calendar could be listed as blog entry and people wanting to work our rides
could do it through the comments.
Granted, it would be
really nice to set up a rideboard module that is distributed by location,
matches people looking for rides with people offering etc. That might be a
nice second step.
PHONEBANK
Here, I don't know
enough of the details, and maybe a little brainstorming would be in order.
Here are the things I do know:
It is common for
campaigns to have a Phonebank during a primaries to get the vote out. I've
never organized one, but I am wondering if we could set up tools to create a
good distributed phonebank.
Many people have
lots of free minutes on their phone plans. and would volunteer to be part of a
phone bank from their homes. Some sort of database would be needed to
organize such volunteers, track their results
etc.
It would seem as if
having some sort of authenticated CVS style checking out of phonelists to call
might be important.
This is something
with a very real deadline, that personally, I would love to see developed, and
tested ahead of any caucus or primary.
Comments?
