"email your leaders" and petition modules. Functionality for contacting your MP / congress member, signing e-petitions

I'm looking for modules that do the following 1) "email your leaders" function. Allowing users to send a standard or customised email to their political representatives. The correct political representative is identified using a zip code / post code search. New email campaigns can be set up fairly easily. 2) a basic petition signing module. Users simply enter a name and email and are then recorded as having signed the petition.

Can someone point me to a module or combination of modules that do the above. Thanks in advance for your help. Alex

BSD Tools integration with Drupal

Hi folks,

I wanted to let you all know about a new module we just released that integrates BSD Tools, Blue State Digital's CRM system, with Drupal. Many of you know BSD Tools from its use to power My.BarackObama.com, and it's use by other organizations such as the DNC, United Way and NAACP.

You can learn more about the module on our blog at http://ow.ly/3P0ZN. If you want to download it, you can do so on GitHub at https://github.com/socialcontxt/bsdapi.

Let us know if you have any questions.

all interesting language modules together...

I have ordened the -to my opinion- most interesting candidates for further research here:
* http://wi-ca.org/Drupal_translation
* http://wi-ca.org/Drupal_multi_language

It's about selecting modules that possibly could serve most for a complex multi-language site. I've left out some modules in the pre-selection.
Yes, there should come a wiki for the translations group, but maybe in a different form than I did (as I for example already have left out some).
Then in that wiki some explanation why one should use this module for something and not the other one?

A shout-out for og_mailinglist, drupal based mailing list with email+web interface

I'd like to draw some attention to work being done by Kyle Mathews over on http://drupal.org/project/og_mailinglist that (IMHO) has a great deal of relevance to co-ops & activist groups. He just released the first beta, and while I don't have the expertise necessary to contribute on a code level, I would love to see it continue to mature status.

Community Discussion/Chat Facility

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to host a meeting between a dozen or so members of my site next week.

At it's most basic, we want to be able to have an irc/skype type discussion, with everyone being able to make text-based contributions.

It seems like there's no stable way to do this through Drupal, with Chatroom being the most likely candidate but too unstable for important meetings (is it unfair of me to say that?). I'm looking into integrating flashchat but haven't gone down that route yet.

Intranet/volunteer management with Drupal

Hi folks,

I began working on a side project a month or so ago to create a system with Drupal that will allow organizers to collaboratively manage volunteers, events and field operations. I have been surprised by the demand for a system like this and I would like to take this past idea stage and formalize a fork of Drupal for campaigns/organizations.

The general functionality I am looking to build in (some of which is completed) is:
1) Calendar
2) Management of campaign requests
2) Task management
3) Volunteer database

Games to improve site stickness - recommended modules

I am looking of a way to increase stickness to my Drupal powered business index.
Light games seem like an interesting option.

Some ideas:
1. Random picture => identify the business.
2. Weekly Polls with Prizes.
3. Crossword / Puzzle module (e.g. like here).
4. Complete tasks to earn points.

Which modules do you recommend?
And do you have other game ideas which encourage stickness?

Thanks in advance,

Amnon

On the drupal shop talk call today the issue of spam user registration came up (see notes). Laura suggested asking the question here.

How are people dealing with spam (in all its forms)
1) spam user registrations
2) spam content
3) comment spam

are you using Captcha or other user challenges?
Heavy moderation?
user based spam flagging?

let's here it!
