[Cc-webedit] [climatecampprocess] text alert system for swoop

[james holland]

yep, this message was just to make sure we're ready to go when the time
comes

although the swoop is already out there in the main flyer and on the front
page of the website:

"This year we will set up the camp together, with a mass swoop of people
taking the site. Get down to London on the day before camp on 26 August and
be ready for the action to start at any time. Join us on facebook and sign
up to twitter and text updates to make sure you stay informed about plans."
>Is there a swoop technology/comms group ?

i kind of think the people who know about this stuff are probably to remain
secret as they are necesarily close to or part of the land group, i just
think we need need to know that they are in place.

maybe we need a swoop group though, that includes people from all the
interested groups - what do process people think?
