Volunteers Needed to Test CitiZing!
CitiZing! will be the first ever civic networking platform, and will launch in alpha form in the next few weeks to test a few pilot projects before it goes public. As we finish the final details of the platform, we need your help with another round of usability testing during the week of October 20th. This involves meeting us for about an hour to interact with the site to give it a test run and provide us with your feedback. Contact Erin Sapp at erin@map150.org to volunteer or with any questions.
