Activist Portal
FROM: E. Normand
What NEED does this meet?
The need for people to communicate and organize activist events, demonstrations, protests, and other actions. The need for citizens of the world to voice their concerns about the directions humanity is taking.
What is the APPROACH?
The plan is to provide a Web Portal that provides (free):
-secure (encrypted), anonymous email to users.
-mailing lists, forums, etc, which are created by the users and can be optionally password protected
-web space for pictures, documents, etc.
-news (again, provided by the users)
What are the BENEFITS to people?
The site will link activists from around the world in a secure, user-driven way. Freedom of information.
What is the COMPETITION?
There are other CMS's out there that provide political news. But I have not found one that gives the individual activist as much power (and hence, freedom) to participate in it as a part of a community.
What BUDGET & LOGISTICS are required?
Simple to implement in an existing framework such as Zope. Would require many email addresses. Basically self-managed.

One use for an activist portal could be a town twinning style website. We are setting one up in response to the tsunami disaster, linking Tavistock in Devon in the UK with a village in Tamil Nadu in India. We would like the Indian end to be able to contribute to the site, and Hindi to be used as well as English
