I wanted to make sure you know about the beta launch of our new project,
Engagement Commons: engagementcommons.org
Engagement Commons (housed within the Civic Commons Marketplace) is a
comprehensive and dynamic catalog of the tools available for civic
engagement and the real-world stories of their deployments. While the
site is still a work in progress, we want to encourage the community to jump in
and try things out -- and tell us how to make it
better.
It's a wiki-based resource, so you can contribute by adding apps or
organizations to the catalog, tracking a deployment of a tool, or
sharing a story about tech for engagement. Check it out, and feel free
to get in touch if you have any questions, comments, or ideas for
improvements.
For more background on the project, read this post on the CfA blog:
