At The Coral Project <coralproject.net> we're building open source tools and practices to allow communities around news to communicate more easily. To that end, we're conducting research to learn about safe communications among media activist communities and civil society groups.

If you can help or know someone who can, please check out the short survey here: https://oasis.sandstorm.io/shared/G3FdYnMhqoxpquvoQCsVHLPeBqx47pctUdDHzaAjDr...

Thanks so much, Martin

If I learned one thing about what is needed for safe communications among media activist communities and civil society groups is "fixing bugs". Fix bugs, develop existing tools, write documentation, and make time for people to learn how to use them. Of course funders, developers and scientists are not so happy with 100 closed bug reports as they are with a single piece of vaporware. But if there would be a few solid things that work better, it would be much better for end users than every technologist trying to convince them of something different and not well tested.
