Tools for basic net activism, with broad applications for even non-politcal non-profit work

BookBlog has a series of posts on political activism and social software tools like blogs/feeds, etc. There's a lot of brainstorming about this subject at Politology blog around the Moral Bankruptcy bill, and this blog's author discusses some of the ideas, putting them into both practical and theoretical frameworks. Below are the tools she uses as part of the SaveMuniWireless.org project.

• a public blog (SaveMuniWireless.org) - for reporting news, posting action alerts, posting municipal network profiles, and linking to reports. The blog becomes the source of news and background research.
• an action mailing list - for busy people to get action updates
• a coordinator mailing list -- a high traffic list for people coordinating nuts and bolts like photocopies of information packets
• a private wiki, for planners coordinating fact sheets, gathering information about projects around the state, building materials for the press.
