Action

FYI, some work I am participating in:

A special issue of Interacting with Computers - Volume 17, Issue 1,
Pages 1-120 (January 2005) - on Design for Civil Society, edited by
Steve Walker and Andy Dearden, is available full text online as a
complementary issue. Yu can read the articles online, download them or
send them in pdf format.

A follow-up on this is a project called Technology and Social Action
(see http://www.technologyandsocialaction.org ): "a project to foster
dialogue and collaboration between activists in social movements,
voluntary and community organisations and technology designers. We are
committed to supporting communities of practice exploring effective
ways of using technology to support social action, and of ensuring
that technological innovation responds to social priorities.

Greetings, Maja
