Zack and his team have launched CivicSpace into the world.

Can’t wait to check it out — CivicSpace is an open-source content management s ystem based on Drupal and designed specifically for grassroots political campai gn websites. It’s based on the work that the CivicSpace team originally did f or the Howard Dean campaign.

What I like about this approach:

• Leverage of a solid open-source content management system, rather than rebuil ding yet another CMS core from scratch.

• Focus on empowering other developers and consultants to install and extend Ci vicSpace sites.

• Field-tested knowledge of cutting-edge Internet organizing.
