2007/01/11 Proposed Agenda
Welcome back from the holiday hiatus!
Agenda
- Atlas: www.fmatlas.com

I look forward to joining you on Feb. 22 with Andy Carvin.
Along with the e-debates – http://e-democracy.org/e-debates – I am involved with an exciting model of agenda-setting local online forums in seven cities in Minnesota and England – http://e-democracy.org/blog/posts/71 . Think massive multi-editor blog with web or e-mail publishing, the usual RSS feeds, and an online community of practice style member directory.
