I am looking for references to active community-oriented e-mail discussion lists focused specifically on local geographic areas with a "general" audience. By general audience, I mean anyone interested in discussing local issues and not the local sailing club or environmental activist group etc..
These lists might be similar to ones that we host with E-Democracy <http://www.e-democracy.org/discuss.html#communities> in Minnesota or lists down to the neighbourhood level like with this forum in DC <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/adamsmorgan/>. Please REPLY to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] FYI, there is a discussion on slashdot about community networking http://ask.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/05/06/0139258&mode=thread&ti d=95 right now. I posted about the e-list tools I'd like to see: http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=32150&tid=95&mode=thread&cid=34693 82 Thanks, Steven Clift http://www.publicus.net http://www.e-democracy.org/do P.S. If you are aware of very very successful civic web forum where some elected or government officials communicate publicly with local citizens let me know about that as well.
