Cooperate with other groups who have similar goals #10

There are several other groups doing similar things to this project. Where possible, I suggest that we avoid reinventing the wheel. It may make sense to contribute to another project rather than start a fresh one from scratch. At the very least there should be some room for collaboration.

http://waterlooregion.org : This is the Social Development Centre of Waterloo Region. They tend to get heavily involved in collecting all-candidates meetings and candidate information.

http://waterloovotes.com : This is a barebones site from the Waterloo Voter Support Committee.

Indirectly, http://waterlooregionconnected.com has been active in municipal politics, and have done some publicity around these issues.

The Federation of Students at UW also typically run "get out the vote" campaigns on campus. I am guessing the WLU and Conestoga College have similar initiatives.

wrvotes.com : I think this is an official page, which is why it contains little useful content.

Great links, thanks! I hadn't stumbled across WRConnected, but I'll dig into that one.

Do you have any connections with anyone involved with any of these organizations, to see if we can either help contribute to their projects, or find out if they'd be interested in contributing to this one?
