> I'm Aaron Kreider.   I've been working full-time on open-source
> activist-networking software called "Activism Network" / "Campus
> Activism" since Jan 2002, mostly by myself, with the hope of spawning
> dozens of local, state, regional, national, issue-based, and
> organizational based networks. I live in Philadelphia.

> Anyways, I'm very interested in working together - if it makes sense to
> do so (and I hope it does!).  Basically my software could be included in
> any imc installation to create local activist directories that are
> directly tied into national/international ones.

> Are people familiar with the up and coming new ZNet site (zmag.org)?
> Unfortunately I cannot find the link to the beta... From my
> understanding, what they're trying to do is the closest thing to what
> imc-alternatives is up to (greater interactivity).  They are several
> months (or possibly a couple years) behind schedule (target was March
> last time I heard), but I'd guess it should come out sometime this
> year.  How people use it might be a good indicator of "what works" /
> "what doesn't". ZNet is probably the highest-traffic left of liberal
> activist website in the US and has a massive base of subscribers
> (200,000 to their email list).  If I remember correctly they aren't
> using drupal (does anyone know different?)... I think they might be
> interested in releasing/sharing their code as open software.
