Distributonomy.org

Introduction:
It's an online community providing useful communication tools.

It's a project that runs really close to the heart of what network 23 org was created to try to do. A fully interactive communication channel. Communication should be able to create a response in the person receiving it - and when that happens, it's great if they can come right back with their own message. So this is exactly what Message and discussion boards do. But this project takes the concept into something that is presented in a bit of a nicer way. They've organised a Festival using this system and it really seems to work pretty well! The way it's written makes it really accessible to others as well.

The main project is http://www.distributonomy.org It's a completely
volunteer run and maintained and provides mailing lists, webspace, and
interactive forums for those interested and involved with alternative
culture. The most exciting part of distributonomy.org, in my opinion are
the wikis, which are collections perl-driven cgi pages which can be world
edited, so that ANYONE reading a page on a wiki can add to it or change
content or make new pages. (Now how's that for an autonomous website?)
