Subject: [GKD-DOTCOM] New Open Source Tool Supports Local e-Gov Access
GroupServer is a new open source tool that combines smart e-mail lists
and simple web forums. It's open source release was supported in part
by the UK Local E-democracy National Project of the Office of the Deputy
Prime Minister. E-Democracy.Org is a lead user of this New
Zealand-based tool. We are using it for local forums where e-mail
access is essential to reach "average citizens" not just those with
"always-on" connections.
A blog post on today's open source release of GroupServer:

low bandwidth environments through both e-mail and web-friendly access.
