aot

The Actions Options Tool (AOT) is web-publishing software uniquely suited to the specific needs of large organizations, which consist of smaller sub-groups, member groups, or committees working together, and makes publishing multiple types of content on a website easy and efficient.

Version 1 of the AOT was officially released on May 24th, 2007 as an open source project, and is available for free download under the "GNU General Public License".

» Please click the following link to download Version 1.

With Version 2, several new features have been added to the AOT. Our new features lead off with a unique fund raising module. Employing individualized user pages, social networking merges with political action to provide an opportunity for personal political empowerment. The individual is able to view the direct and indirect influence of their online political actions: donations, petition signatures, boycott signatures and eletter participation.

Through the software, all are trackable providing users a "six-degrees-of-separation" experience of their political interconnections.

The Actions Options Tool has four main goals:

1. Allow member groups or chapters within an organization to easily work together and publish content to a website
2. Improve coordination and communication between chapters, member groups, and committees within an organization thereby improving efficiency
3. Create a method for organizations to quickly communicate with members
4. Allow site administrators to easily manage the users/contact list

The Actions Options Tool consists of several features designed to help a large organization stay organized, manage their members, publish several types of content to a website, and to manage marketing and email newsletter campaigns.

The main features of the tool are:

• News article publishing system
• Actions/events publishing tool (and grid) for coordinating efforts
• Event calendar
• User registration system
• Email campaign/marketing tool
• Discussion forums
• Committee member message center
• Political action centers (petitions, boycotts, eletters, fundraisers, etc.)
