The data could be updated by volunteers very quickly as the responses came
in and it actually worked better than the printed version of the voters
guide in Idaho and so they are probably going to just do the web site the
next time around.

We looked into a few things, but don't have the bandwidth currently to
implement any of them.  Churches, political candidates, sports like rafting
and mountain biking.  We have one mountain bike racing site that absolutely
loves Typo3 and was using PostNuke before.  It is a small site, but they can
update it with race results and updates easily.  She also knew nothing about
html or computers beforehand and after 1 hour of training she could add
content.
