Wikipedia - The free encyclopedia, all content is under GNU_FDL.

Wiktionary - A spin off from wikipedia. The free dictionary and thesaurus in every language if it gets done someday. GNU_FDL also. Not much happening there now.

JXTA - Java P2P service platform: secure bandwidth, processing power, storage and backup sharing

Bluez - The official Linux Bluetooth protocol stack implementation @ http://bluez.sourceforge.net/

http://www.free-project.org/ The GNU.Free e-democracy software development has been discontinued, but the software is still available. It's in Java and could be useful in governing campaigns. See also voting system options described in wikipedia (very comprehensive, with examples, tradeoffs of different systems).

http://act.greenpeace.org - Greenpeace cyber-activist community weblog, has hundreds of thousands of users, searches on almost any topic will yield something (Google searches will only show official documents). Active discussion of features for activist sites, how to integrate email chat and web, whether to use wikis or annotation, etc.. Active discussion of many different projects, e.g. a DNS reserving the names of all ecoregions. (warning: contains violent minds, who clearly haven't heard of w:RDF)

http://amnesty.org - Amnesty International site, almost as good, but less focused on email campaigns

http://globalgreens.org - mailing lists automatically set up for any Green Party - or other groups obeying Global Greens Charter

http://crit.org - annotation software to 'mark up' any site on the web

http://smartmobs.com - discussion of mobile technologies for politics
