I often tell people that EFGA does what you want, because you do it.  There 
is nothing EFGA has ever done that was not done by an unpaid volunteer of 
the group.  So support EFGA.  Volunteer!

Right now we have a need for some people to work on an internet server 
based system to help communicate issues, track voting records, and 
communicate feedback to our public officials.  This would be something 
similar to what Capital Advantage sells, such as is seen at www.congress.org.

The technology we have in place is three Linux servers with PHP, MySQL, 
Sendmail, and a fax card.  We can use volunteers who want to work a little, 
and we can use volunteers who want to work a lot.

But what if you don't have technical skills?  Well, actually you do!  Going 
to a web page the state has and copy/pasting the text into a comma 
separated text file for uploading into our database is what is know as ETL 
- Extract, Transform, and Load.  Have a fax machine we can send test 
letters to?  That is both Unit Testing and Integration testing.  I can give 
you dozens of examples.  You have complex technical skills, you may just 
not realize it!

If you know what technical skills you have and want to use them, then let 
me know.  There is a lot to do and I can give you any size piece of it you 
want.
