Launched in January 1998, DO-WIRE connects over 2500 experts, practitioners, journalists, and citizens across 75 countries. If you are interested in democracy online - including politics online, new media, e-governance, e-government, online advocacy and activism, citizen e-participation and related topics, then join us. 

Each week, well known e-democracy expert and speaker Steven Clift forwards, with occasional analysis, no more than seven carefully selected messages.  Posts include news, article, and report web links, event and conference announcements, calls for papers, and often uncover important "primary source" online resources, projects, and initiatives of significance.
