So now people are noticing that there are fun and games with the referendum leaflet situation. We did all the rounds of the different possible funders last year including media organizations telling them this was going to happen, but no one was interested, were they? Goddamit.
Anyways we're in the process (Ross specifically) of migrating the site to django this week (hopefully Monday), which means it can start absorbing desperately needed features (eg a slot for referendum handling). When that's done, what are the options for getting the word out? I can promise that there will zero support from the normal media channels. Though they I will get phone calls when something turns up against the odds, they will not understand that they need to take some part in getting the input. Julian.
