[CivicAccess-discuss] RE: CivicAccess-discuss Digest, Vol 15, Issue 4

Sat Oct 4 13:18:41 EDT 2008

JMA Consulting launched http://www.orphanvoters.ca and
http://electeursOrphelins.ca in about 10 days for Fair Vote Canada. We've
also been providing script advice for a few videos on
http://anyonebutharper.ca, and have been working with anyonebuthaper.ca to
improve the transparency, criteria and algorithms used for recommendations
drawn from VoteForTheEnvironment.ca and democraticspace.com for
AnyoneButHarper's strategic voting widget written by Patrick Keenan. Oh, and
supporting all of the voters list merging for the NDP across the country.

I'd be interested in a CivicAccessCamp after the election, or before if it
was a sprint project that made sense for us.
