Civicspace

Post by arclight »

And for tonight's posting trifecta, I present Civicspace http://www.austinimprov.org/civicspace/ It's a blog/content management system ("website") tuned for non-profits, advocacy groups, etc., based on Drupal. It has a nice calendar, makes event posting easy, has some CRM widget to help coordinate volunteers, track donors & contacts, and otherwise makes posting web goo pretty and easy. Or pretty easy.

It's got a bit more power than Serendipity (the blog software that runs http://news.austinimprov.com). I'm not completely sold on Civicspace but it hasn't struck me as being offensively stupid yet so give it a test drive and tell me what you think.

Also, I make the traditional distinction between austinimprov.com as being for the general public and austinimprov.org as being for the Co-op, AIC, AI, or whatever that-which-we-called-the-Co-op is being called now.
