[liberationtech] urgent help needed - tools for organising distributed mass protests

[Kevin Shockey]

To start I'll assume we're talking cell phones, and maybe some servers and
WiFi. Do we know more?

Distribution and setup could be a simple front end application distributed
with the install package. Which I believe for phones just points it to
where the app can be downloaded (local server). This install image can be
shared easily between phones.

I seem to remember some lightweight apps somewhere, but I can't remember or
locate the site just now.
