Google groups
From Global Voices Wiki
We don't have a physical office at Global Voices, but we do have a whole lot of Google Groups where authors, editors, and translators interact to make things happen on the Global Voices and in our broader community.
Privacy note: Conversations on the Global Voices Gooogle Groups are considered private to the community and not for public dissemination.
Profiles: We ask that all members of Google Groups [update their profile] with as much information as they feel comfortable with, including: name, blog link, photo, email address, geographic location, and phone number. This is very helpful in group archive searches.
Universal: Absolutely everyone who is an author, translator, or editor at Global Voices should be a member of the [GV-Authors group]. Please ask to be invited if you are not.
Regional: Most regions have their own groups as well, please ask relevant editors to be included in them if you would like to contribute.
Here is a graphic overview of the many different groups that existed as of September 2008.
