DemTools Newsletter - July 2015

The vision behind DemTools is to build the capacity of groups to organize more effectively, reach target audiences, and more easily gather and analyze data with simple-to-use web applications. Since launching the toolkit in August 2014, that vision has come to fruition. NDI offices and partner organizations are now using DemTools to engage in technology-empowered programs that would have otherwise been impossible due to cost or staffing limitations. With renewed funding from the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) to further the development and expansion of DemTools, our team has been pursuing a renewed vision for DemTools: one that emphasizes better user support, enhanced multilingual capacity and improved usability. We developed roadmaps for our CiviParty and CiviMP, Issues, and Elections Demtools, which chart our way forward.

In this quarter’s newsletter, we’ve highlighted a few of our most exciting new developments thus far. Check it out here! The NDItech team welcomes your feedback and encourages you to stay involved in the toolkit’s development process. We want to know how you’re using DemTools, what challenges you’re experiencing, and what improvements you’d like to see in the future. You can share your comments, suggestions and ideas with us at @nditech, facebook.com/nditech and [email protected].
