Advokit - Rediscover your Grassroots
Submitted by patdunlavey on Wed, 05/17/2006 - 07:48. AdvoKit InfoManage Your Campaign
Advokit is a free web-based voter contact management system created by and for the grassroots. Using Advokit, you can combine the power of voter files and social networking to build your grassroots into an organization, and use that organization to identify and mobilize supporters. Advokit is an online hub for a campaign’s activist recruitment, voter registration, supporter identification, get-out-the-vote, door-to-door canvassing and phone bank work.
Activate Social Networks
The Internet is leveling the political playing field, allowing every concerned citizen to become an activist for their chosen issues and on behalf of yours. When friends asks friends to vote, positive response rates are five to ten times greater than when campaigns canvass anonymously. Advokit positions campaigns to harness the grassroots power of social networking.
First Steps: Job-Types
Submitted by patdunlavey on Tue, 01/15/2008 - 08:47. AdvoKit InfoBefore any activist jobs can be created on teams and before any users can be plugged into activist jobs, the campaign leader must define one or more activist job types. By defining job types, a campaign leader determines what different kinds of activists will be expected to do and what functions they will have available when they log on to Advokit. (A job type is not the same thing as a job. A job can be thought of as an instance of a job type on a particular team.)
Getting ready for Advokit 2.0
Submitted by patdunlavey on Thu, 11/22/2007 - 08:35. AdvoKit InfoI think I have - finally - completed the list of enhancements that I wanted to include in Advokit 2.0. I hope to officially tag Advokit 2.0 beta 1 next week. From here on out, there will be no significant changes - just bug fixes and easy usability improvements. I will now be turning my focus to compiling documentation and fixing bugs.
The documentation plan is as follows:
- Update the existing help screens and add many new ones.
- Create a comprehensive "Advokit 2.0 Guide" for campaign leaders (I've started this at http://advokit.net/node/162 ).
- Create several printable use-case-specific guides for activists and leaders.
- Edit existing documentation on advokit.net to bring up to date with Advokit 2.0
If you would be interested in helping test or write documentation, please let me know!!!!
