The sequel to Day One of these notes from the New Organizing Institute, with Day Two spent ill abed.

Difference between CRM & CMS

Use CRM to track and contact campaign's supporter

Use CMS to edit web site w/o a lot of updating

Handy for
1. when there are a lot of people on the campaign updating things
2. when there are people in different locations who all need to access/update data
3. essential if there's a pretty large database of people you're contacting regularly and trying to track (e.g., you want to make sure you don't ask for money the day after they gave...)

They're not pretty, but they're breathy with the immediacy of being there -- the New Organizing Institute training, to be exact.

Oh, and Item! What prominent e-politics blogger actually takes his notes longhand? We won't tell, but he's ... ah, the devil, it's Colin at e.politics.

The completeness, precision and comprehensibility of these notes are not warrantied.

Computer being obnoxious so parentheticals following are ex post facto recollections of an excellent presentation.
