Hey all,

I'm a New Media Production intern with the Libertarian National Committee in Washington, DC, and I'm here to get your feedback on a new project of the libertarian party.

As many of you know, the Libertarian Parties of many states have websites that do not meet the needs of the party or their members. Instead of relying on centralized authority to provide resources and information to libertarians, the LNC is testing member-driven "spontaneous order" via social networks.

Our prototype site has been created for the state of Missouri, and it's designed to showcase the basic capabilities of the platform.

You can find the site, Show Me Liberty, here:
http://showmeliberty.ning.com/

As the person charged with developing these networks, I would love to get your feedback on how we could make this site and sites like it work for you.

Thanks.

Looks like the rest of the ning websites.

Good colors though.

VBulletin has the best forum software. I've never used ning's stuff. Good luck!

Yup, it's your standard ning platform. The LP is looking to see if it can be used as an effective tool for networking and event coordination, primarily, in addition to creating a general community within the state.

Haha, that's a great interview.

Incidentally, the Libertarian Party published just yesterday an interview with Jan Helfed.

It's part of our ongoing series LPTV.
