page remodeling
Notes for the upcoming remodeling of this page: want to collect good examples of similar efforts by other groups to encourage grassroots action.
- http://tractor.scrollie.com/blockparty/ - in progress event, but I really like their flow of how to participate... will have to see what resources they put up. (note: this is at TOPP, where I work now, but by people on a different project. 66.108.80.238 10:29, 12 February 2008 (EST))
