Tech Tools for Activism

The second Hacktionlab tech tools project. These minutes from Hacklab Manchester 2011 contain some of the results of the discussion there.

ToDo list

• Decided on a new format/style guide (IRC meeting)
• Make a resources list
• Make a participants list
• write up workflow plan (Ben G)
• Organize IRC meeting (Ben G)
• Enhance the Style Guide
• Go through and check your own original contribtions - take out what you think isn't relelvant. Link out to more information and reduce the word count. (can we have a meeting about style and aims before we do this? Ben Green 20th Sep 2011)

Content Review

Please tag any comments and suggestions as your own.

We should remove the user journeys, this was pretty much agreed at the Manchester meet up. (BenG) We should replace them with popout info boxes. (BenG)
