A Software Development Program

PRADSAX the software development programme is an

An Engaged Community

Ultimately, PRADSAX will succeed of fail because
of people engaging together. Our community is interacting, discussing,
debating, designing and developing on-line and face-to-face. We are
meeting here at www.technologyandsocialaction.org, in a googlegroup pradsa@googlegroups.com, on del.icio.us (using the PRADSA and PRADSAX tags, and other tags) and elsewhere. If you share our vision, come and join us.
