Join Our Live Chat! Handbook for Bloggers & Cyber-Dissidents · Global Voices
Rebecca MacKinnon

The IRC chat was a great success, with three dozen participants from around the world (China, Malaysia, Tunisia, Bahrain, Japan, Germany, France and Canada, just to name a few…) The transcript is available here if you'd like to see what transpired. Coming out of the conversation are a new set of efforts to spread the Guide around the world – we'll be posting a link to a wiki page in the next couple of hours for people interested in helping us with this project.
