On this Joomla-powered site, the GPCA Volunteers section will present all matters and services related to informing and helping GPCA Volunteers do their volunteer work as efficiently and as effectively as possible. The services (are to) include a "signup service" provided as part of the CiviCRM extension. For now all newly signed-up volunteers go into one "pool" or "civicrm group", the "All Volunteers" group. jw100601, jw100729

GPCA Ideas, Issues, Arguments
Censored or Ignored
If your constructive ideas, issues or arguments -- especially if they are those you voiced during official GP meeting and which the leadership or the group ignored or censored == PUT THEM HERE. CAGI site content readers can read and consider your remarks and suggestions, comment on them - constructively -- and start pubic or private forum topic on-going discussions about them. Conclusions reached by a majority or consensus of the discussants can become at the very least a CAGI Opinion article which if the discussants make it public "the world" can see, read, and consider. That may change our Green Party of California, if not also other US GPs, for the better.
No flame wars please.

for CAGreens.org site Content Maintenance on this CAGI Site
An Experimental "Proof of Concept" intended to help web site content developers and mangers
work out how to create new, revised, and replacement documents for GPCA "Live" Web Sites
Login to submit new articles about this web site and new or revised documents for this GPCA Document Categories. You will need to have "author" privileges to create and edit your own content on this site.
ACESS PRIVILEGES: You will need to have "editor" privileges to edit the content of yourself and 1+ other content authors all of whom will be working on this site. You will need to have "Publisher" permissions added to your account to create new article categories in this section. Email the site administrator your request to be "upgraded" to have "Author" or "Editor" or "Publisher" privileges or to have 2 or all 3 of these privileges.
THE PUBLISHING CONTEXT: The GPCA "leadership" has not yet found the need for having a separate site for web site content production and refinement or for a systematic process -- existing as a refineable test process or set of processes -- for creating new documents or refining existing documents taken from its several web sites. Nevertheless for experimental purposes and as a "proof of concept" for the need to develop such content production and maintenance processes, Greens with CAGI site accounts can login to this site and do here. Here they can create new documents for the GPCA, copy documents from existing "live" web sites and save them here. Discuss among other interested GPCA members and content developers what changes could be made to the copies of the documents stored on this site. Then by themselves or in content development team edit, refine and/or create replacement versions of that content for those documents. GPCA web site content managers, if and when they exist, can then reviewed here on this site the content created or revised here for consideration of adoption as "new content" or "next versions" of the content on the official GPCA web sites.

He compiled and edited the "dirty politics inside the GP" book "Independent Politics: The Green Party Strategy Debate," 2006. It is a compilation of letters and articles of Greens of widely varying points of view before and after they came together at the 2004 GP convention where the "rules" were subverted letting some fall back on "same ol' same ol' dirty tricks" back room political scheming just so their minority faction could win the nomination. Opportunistic Faux Greens green-washing themselves and the Green Party. In short: Howie is a keen social-political observer and writer about us.

Funding foremost means donations from site visitors and site users, people who log in to use some of the special features available on this site for the Green Party of California. Future funding might be more-of-the-same or a small stipend from someone or even the GPCA or a grant. This category has articles which talk about those needs and how they might be met.
Community Building 0
Community Building is the larger view of party building. A party needs to grow and to function well. The larger community in which the party and others political parties exist need to flourish, cooperate more often than not, and have the electorate therein reach compromises on public policies and public works programs more often, more efficiently and effectively.

Democracy Destroying Politics 1 1
I, JGW, created this category in the "Opinions" section on June 225, 2013, the day the US Supreme Court in effect destroyed the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and put another nail in the coffin that holds the fate of US Democracy. Other Green Party opinion writers on this topic PLEASE feel free to contribute your opinions to this category. Also contribute articles to GP strategy and tactics categories on this CAGI site as well as to related Forum categories also on CAGI!
Democracy Destroying Politics 2 0
Post no articles here that are "just" venting "how awful it is" whatever "it" is. Use a suitable Forum category or post an article in the Opinions Section.
The articles in the categories in this Democracy Destroying Politics section should constructively and thoughtfully analyze, summarize, and/or provide commentary about historic and recent acts in [city,] state, national and international politics which have seriously weakened or destroyed small-d democracy. The results should inform progressives in general and the GPCA membership in particular and be "nutritious food for though" for GP people to create effective strategies and tactics.
Categories to collect an increasing number of articles for a given [city,] state, nation, etc. will be provided on-request by email. Those with suitably constructive and thoughtful articles about cities or towns will get a "city" category on request by email.

Site Content Alternative Views in general means there is more than one way to "look at" and "sift through" or "filter" the article and web-link content of this web site. Each "way" is a called a view or a starting-place for the site visitor. It is also a virtual door-way to other doors and windows and the "content" on the "other side" of that door or window. Hopefully, for the site visitor and logged in site user who knows in general what he or she wants to find, the different views provide an easier and quicker way to get to the more detailed information they most want in the fewest web-page navigation "clicks."

Tips, Tricks, Tutorials [, Classes] 3
Since mid August 2011 this section has listed categories -- and articles in the categories - for Tips which primarily are to be progressive campaigning tip articles and tip web links. Ethical Tricks categories, articles, and web links will follow.
"We" the CAGI site content developers hope to have actual Tutorials and then Online Classes articles and links to elaborated procedures or self-paced classes online placed in appropriate categories before the 2012 California Primaries and for use throughout the 2012 election season. I and other instructional designers first need to determine the specific needs for tutorials and online classes from the GPCA members, supporters, and candidates. jgw110820

- Flow Diagram: Joomla... (458) 0000-00-00 There is a link to the flow-chart on this page. The page walks you through the flow-chart verbally. This is a good reference for debugging when your Joomla site's "front end" pages have warning or error messages BEFORE even the header of your request web site's page is rendered on your browser.

(596) 0000-00-00 Edy Alvarez of the California Green Party produced a Facebook "note page" entitled: "Employing Facebook Groups In Order To Build Critical Mass for The Green Party From The Comfort Of Your Couch (How-to Guide)." Any U.S. state's Green Party can benefit from adopting this social media tactic.

People can download and auto-magically install the plugin in their web browser program in less than a minute. Web sites, e.g. CAGreenIDEAS.org and CAGreens.org, can download and install a similar Shareaholic web site tool which distributes user posts to the target web site also to 1+ additional web sites, perhaps with "similar user demographics" and interests. As of 11.12.09, I (jgw) have not yet user-tested either cross-posting tool.

- The Campaigns and Elections... (631) 0000-00-00 I (jgw) don't yet know where the Campaigns and Elections magazine comes down politically. However, I think it is a magazine for political consultants to the Duopoly Party. In that case it is trying to be a "thought leader" to their status quo thinking and their decades-old standard operating procedures those consultants recommend for the campaigns they consult. Lao Tsu's "Tao of War" says (paraphrasing): "Know your enemy." As in: anticipate their moves before they do. Gandhi would then have us "weaken the enemy's resolve to attack and defeat us" by pointing out with compassion our common goals and dreams.
- The Winning Campaigns web site (527) 0000-00-00 The Winning Campaigns web site heading says they are about presenting the "Winning strategies, services and products for political campaign management, (political) advocacy, and (successful) governmental and public affairs." Words in parentheses () are mine, jgw.

(774) 0000-00-00 As of April 2013, the JoomlaArts.com web site has had this article comparing the technical differences of the several existing Template Framework Systems with which state-of-the-art template designer-builders are creating more amazing, powerful and flexible templates for Joomla web sites. Interestingly for the future of CMS web site design and building, the emergence of template frameworks beginning about 2005 promises to make possible transporting templates or themes between very different types of Content Management Systems.
Article Categories:
CMSes, Web Sites, Site Content Management 0
CMS stands for "content management systems." Example free open source CMS brands are Joomla!, Drupal, and Wordpress. Web Sites in the 2nd decade of the 21st century almost MUST be built on some sort of CMS to provide greater ease of submission and revision of site content documents by organization members and provide relative ease of system administrators of now much more complex "web 2.0" CMS web site. Sys-admins might enable and "tweak" the site's web page layouts, forms for people to fill-out, site-functions like email-blasting and newsletter, donor sign-ups, volunteer sign-ups, small-to-large project management, and many other special features only a CMS site can provide to organization members and the general public which visits and uses the site.
Content Management is what most web site builders until very recently have neglected to consider (since the Internet went public in 1991) when building and deploying a web site for a "client" like a business or in our case a political party state-wide organization!
Some "management issues" and "technical consideration" types of articles on these topics as they are helpful to the GPCA and the GPCA IT Working Group will be found here.

Tutorial Subject Matter Index Pages 0
The articles in this category each (will) present a comprehensive overview, or index, of the articles and web link content on this web site that are related to a particular progressive issue. In this way each article can serve as a "table of contents" and index with which the student of a particular issue may return to repeatedly to continue their studies.
Web Site Design, Construction and Maintenance 0
The purpose of this category of tips and tutorials is to offer summary "better" and "best practices" as well as short procedural check-lists for the design, construction and maintenance of a 2012-level state-of-the-art web site. The tutorials and check-lists here will speak to a "generic" non-specific content management system of which the three most popular CMSes are Joomla!, Drupal, and Wordpress. In sub-categories labeled by CMS type (e.g. Joomla!) I (or a "we" to be determined) will offer more specific instructions using both the generic easier to understand language and the idiomatic technical language the particular CMS type imposes.
CAGreenIDEAS.org uses Joomla! version 1.5, soon version 1.6.
CAGreens.org uses Drupal version 7.
