<div>Howdy folks</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I will shortly be submitting a grant application for a $25k non-profit project that wants to help improve 'Civic Engagement'. I'd like to feature use of Drupal as part of this, so am looking for ideas on what this might look like and to include this development as part of the project. If there is opportunity to sponsor some new modules etc. that would be even better.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This is one of the first, smaller projects I am developing as part of a broader campaign into the e-gov space, so I'm looking for consultants who are interested in a longer term and more involved partnership around this sector. For example another opportunity process area I have identified is local e-procurement of skilled consultants, which Drupal would be ideal for addressing, and that I've described the main required points for here: <A href="http://drupal.org/node/462676" _fcksavedurl="http://drupal.org/node/462676"><FONT color=#14456e><a href="http://drupal.org/node/462676">http://drupal.org/node/462676</a></FONT></A>. There will be lots more like this too, as I think there will be a large shift towards 'Wiki Government' (see my blog).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If any of this sounds of interest please feel free to contact me to discuss further. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Best regards, Neil. </div>
