Through the dotOrganize survey, hundreds of progressive organizers told us what they need to make online technology work for them.
Now we're taking the next step by implementing the following promising solutions. We believe these projects can dramatically increase organizers' capacity to find, adopt, use, and sustain online tools to support their work.
There are some great online tools out there, but no single tool does it all. To get organizers the complete toolsuites they need, we must figure out ways to integrate our existing tools - to "mash" the applications together.
The AppsMash Lab will spend 2007 incubating a technical solution that combines the power of multiple applications. It's a first step towards the dream of flexible, affordable toolsuites that will help progressives meet their goals and win their campaigns.
This online guide will provide a searchable database of tools, recommendations, user ratings, best practices, and implementation guidelines for organizers. Using the Online Resource Hub, organizers can easily identify technology options, jumpstart the adoption of new tools, and connect with fellow practitioners.
