Social Source Commons

Open source software to create an activist network that includes people, groups, events, resources, and more. Ultimately the software creates a network of sites sharing activist data using a central database, and syndicated using web services. Any website can access the data (except one or two private things) using web services (SOAP).

It lets you browse the problems currently reported in your area.

It lets you set up email or RSS alerts to be told when problems get reported within a radius of your house or workplace, or within your ward or council.

It provides posters and flyers (made by one of our volunteers, Ayesha) that you can use to tell people about the service, and encourage them to ger their streets fixed.
