All importing requires now is just going to the Wordpress import tool and specifying the file. Wordpress now uses dashes instead of underscores, so that’s something you don’t have to worry about. That’s all. You don’t have to worry about using mod_rewrite at all. Getting the varied blogrolls and badges, etc.

I could dump all my addresses into one big flat file, and use grep. But the last time I tried Evolution, it was a horrible experience. But, that was 4 years ago. Open source projects do get better. Actually there is a fourth option. So my next task is to really try out evolution, and see how it works for me. I’ll keep you posted.

Yesterday, they published the list of organizations that have lost their exemption from paying income tax due to failure to file required reports in 2007, 2008, and 2009. The National Center for Charitable Statistics notes that 90 percent of these organizations have never filed any kind of return. This is great news.

Volunteers in one region could follow the twitter stream or hashtags from other groups and iterate off their progress almost as if they were all in one room. CrisisCamps is not a rogue example.
