The DeanSpace Project

The DeanSpace Project: “DeanSpace is an open development community, providing powerful tools, quality support and expert advice to Howard Dean’s grassroots supporters. Our goal is to better interlink existing web activism, bring new citizen participants into the process, and allow individuals to better network and organize for taking action, both on-line and off.” Some of Dean’s tech savvy supporters have put together one or more tools (e.g., Drupal, an open source content management and weblogging tool) to help other supporters create online communities. It shows the power of a community of like minded people with a range of skills, all working together to achieve goals. (Disclaimer: despite a number of posts here about Dean, I’m not voting for him. I believe, however, the internet, politics, and good government are made for each other. It will take time to figure out how.) Found through Dan Gillmor’s eJournal.
