My non-profit uses the GPL Python-based http://GroupServer.org platform to host local neighborhood online communities in the U.S., the UK, and New Zealand. We are users of GroupServer and not the owner of the project.
We are plotting a future new features hackathon (in person in Minneapolis and perhaps simultaneously elsewhere) and are looking for python programmers with a particular interest in connecting people in local places. If you are interested in learning more, please contact us at t...@e-democracy.org or http://e-democracy.org/contact Or join the GroupServer development group - http://groupserver.org/groups/development - where we will definitely making an announcement. We will also announce it here on the Local Labs online group: http://e-democracy.org/labs Thanks, Steven Clift E-Democracy.org P.S. GroupServer is probably the best open source hybrid e-mail list/web forum out there. Not the best e-mail list. And not the best web forum. But the best fully integrated approach.
