Library at LARC, Open meeting

The distributed library project is part of an experiment in sharing information and building community. Unfortunately, the traditional library system doesn't do much to foster community. Patrons come and go, but there is very little opportunity to establish relationships with people or groups of people. In fact, if you try to talk with someone holding a book you like - you'll probably get shushed. The Distributed Library Project works in exactly the opposite way, where the very function of the library depends on interaction. Read more >>

Help me, if you know php

I am developing a portal for monitoring the policing in developing countries for transparent, accountable and responsible policing. I want to modify php nuke for this purpose and need help from any activist group interested in promoting civil rights and civil liberties. This will have no copy right and will be diturbuted free and will surely tune up criminal justice system which is under threat in countries in transition.

It will be community and content driven and will have open publishing where common people can post their compaliants against police authorities and the volunteers will try to help them out.
