Last night I posted this diary re-capping the progressive economic wishlist proposed by Richard Eskow in this article on the Huffington Post. I asked if this was a plan that a majority of Kossacks could get behind; my thinking is that if we can inspire Kossacks to fight for a plan, we could move some goalposts a bit and have a really good time in the process. The plan got a whopping 86% "Yes, strongly" for supporting the plan. The diary was well received and many people indicated a desire to continue moving such a plan forward. Below my ideas on how we can do that.

What would a Democratic progressive economic plan look like? Richard Eskow in the Huffington Post suggested a starting point.

This is MetaGroupies, a group blog where Group Founders and Administrators meet to discuss issues of group management, share tips, policies, organizational choices and the like.

Hi everyone - I'm tmo (god I wish I'd come up with a catchier username but this was back in 2004 when I wasn't thinking it would last this damn long). The groups I've founded are "Livelihood Chronicles", which is for providing resources and support and advice for unemployed or underemployed or unhappily employed Kossacks, and "Oakland Community Blog", for gathering all the Oaklanders on DK.

I was thinking that it might be useful to discuss us coming up with a set of recommended "best practices" for group admins and editors that we can publish regularly and/or post somewhere accessible. This would just be some guidance for new admins and editors, to give them a place to start so people aren't constantly having to re-invent the wheel.

This is "The Livelihood Chronicles", a group-blog at DK4 to help unemployed/under-employed/under-paid folks find work or other means of income during this unemployment crisis and keep their heads held high in the meantime. This is also meant to be a comfortable place for unemployed folks to vent and connect and hopefully get something that will help them. Long term, or maybe sooner than that considering how dire things have become, I hope we can organize some political action for unemployed folks. If you want to be a contributor or co-editor or co-admin, please send me a message.

I'm interested in forming an Oakland group-blog if anyone else is interested in joining. Oakland's in a pretty interesting spot these days and I'd like to help document it. My neighborhood, Temescal, is gentrifying pretty visibly. Uptown is becoming more vibrant all the time. Artists have been moving into West Oakland for years. We have a new mayor, a proposed new ballpark, and one incredibly bad budget problem. We have a new bridge that's going up, a huge new Kaiser complex going up, and transit-oriented development is going to be going up all over the place at the Fruitvale and MacArthur BART stations. What's going on in your neighborhood? What Oakland blogs do you read, if any? What would be good topics for future diaries?

I'm interested in creating an unemployment-group blog and and would like some input on how much interest there is in writing and co-administering it, and what the focus should be.

This is "The Unemployment Chronicles", a soon-to-be group-blog at DK4 to help unemployed folks find work or other means of income during this unemployment crisis/catastrophe/disaster, and keep their heads and spirits held high in the meantime. This is also meant to be a warm, safe, comfortable place for unemployed folks to vent and connect and hopefully get something that will help them. Long term, or maybe sooner than that considering how dire things have become, I hope we can organize some political action for unemployed folks. See "The Unemployment Chronicles" blog over at DK4.

I've created a new group-blog, "The Unemployment Chronicles", over on DK4 as a response to all the heart-wrenching unemployment stories I see on DK. I think we can use DK4 to help our Kossack friends find jobs, or at least keep their spirits and heads up while they're looking for work, and build our community along the way. Want to help?
