Can I suggest that instead of people posting their allegience to a particular working group that an open poll may be of more use. People vote on a single working group that they would like to be in (and PM the leader of any other's if they really want to do more than one) and the leaders can start by collecting names from there. It'll probably get confusing otherwise.
This won't be organised on LFGSS.
I've got a communications plan and it's being put into action over the next day or two.
Essentially there is going to be 1 website that does this:
1) For the supporters/followers or those interested... a public front page informs them of key things that have happened, press, lobbying, etc.
2) For the supporters/followers or those interested... an email list in which "news" announcements will be posted.
3) For those involved in the action group and working groups a Wiki (same as Wikipedia) will allow all of the information to be gathered and managed.
4) For those involved in the action group and working groups, a number of email lists will be created to allow for the discussion/organisation to take place... anything that gets agreed should be put into the wiki so that it becomes public
So it's pretty simple, if you're involved and active you communicate and work in your small groups via email, which everyone already has, and via the Wiki when you need to share and work on things.
If your role is simply a support, someone willing to help with lobbying, spreading the word, etc... then you just subscribe to the RSS of the blog and there will be an "announce" email list that lets you know when that gets updated, etc.
Communications will be kept simples, and this will be put in place very soon.
We need to remember that not everyone is on LFGSS, not everyone is fluent with discussion forums and web 2.0 applications, and the technology is second to getting things done.
So with that in mind... simple tools that people know brought together to get things done.
