The web development group on NABUUR.com has been quiet for some time. The core group of people working on the tech side have been using some other tools to keep in touch and coordinate work, but with the move to a new server also came the move to a new set of tools to coordinate. Here's an overview.

I think I first met Peter Deitz at Web of Change, talking about his idea to mash up the actionable opportunities on all the platforms for social change. That became Social Actions, where you can: join an event, sign a petition, donate to a cause, give out a loan, volunteer. The things you can do come from a variety of sources, like Care2, GlobalGiving, Kiva, Idealist.org, and starting this week, also from NABUUR!

The input that was provided here, was used as a starting point for an improvement plan, which is attached. From all the messages it was clear that the system may be working technically, but the right user experience is missing. In other words: the floor is there, the music is playing...now who will open the dance?
