GroupServer To Power The E-democracy Decade

uksmedemlogo.jpg Steven Clift is on to something extraordinary

From Clift:

For almost eight years we've waited for an online tool that we can use on our own site that combines e-mail and web forums in a truly accessible and usable manner.

The wait is over:

 http://e-democracy.org/groupserver  - Includes 20 minute video tour  http://groupserver.org - Official site

GroupServer is a new social software platform for online groups.  In short, GroupServer is a smart e-mail list combined with a simple web forum. The website for an online group supports the forum with file sharing, a member directory, and other group features.

It is a unified, free/open source database-driven tool that Minnesota-based http://E-Democracy.Org/uk helped extend using New Zealand-based GroupServer with funding from the UK Local E-Democracy National Project/ODPM. This is clearly a global effort.
