Other than ongoing notes from Eva Young, the E-Democracy Board <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> has not received a complaint or for that matter a compliment about the Minneapolis Issues Forum during the last half-year or so (having just scanned my inbox). We have not receive an appeal from anyone suspended (or given a warning) from any of our forums going back to last spring.
If you want to comment on any E-Democracy forum or online activity you can reach all the active volunteers and the Board via our web form: http://www.e-democracy.org/comments.html If you want to just reach the Board, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] We did receive a note about the lack of our advancing technology in the face of weblogs and the like. Who would like to help us apply our non-partisan, non-profit, create a space for people from across the political spectrum to communicate mission with weblogs? This could be as simple as maintaining a local/political weblog directory to building a weblog-based project at the state or local level. The key factor is that it must be a space that raises the voice of many participants and not just a soapbox for one or a just a few individuals. We are interested in hearing what people think and what they will volunteer to do to help us advance technologically. We do have a new Technology Committee with over 20 e-democracy interested techies that we've recruited around the world, but we need someone with time to implement a number of the short term needs that we have identified <http://www.e-democracy.org/center/technology.html>. We also need help building better web archives <http://www.e-democracy.org/center/eweb.html>. Sincerely, Steven Clift E-Democracy Chair P.S. In the meantime, E-Democracy has built one of the nation's most comprehensive Election 2004 link directories: http://www.e-democracy.org/us If you'd like to join our Minnesota specific effort for 2004 and help improve http://www.myballot.net let us know as well.
