[HacktionLab] What was it???

[Darren]

I did have a couple of things I wanted to ask the list.... but I've 
forgotten one of them....

So just one - can anyone tell me what was the edemocracy 
software/platform that was demonstrated

Oh yeah, just remembered the other - anyone got any suggestions for web 
based collaborative event timetabling?  Am thinking using an etherpad, 
possibly even https://ethercalc.org (although this wouldn't be easy for 
non-spreadsheet users) but wondering if any ones got any other solutions 
(ease of use important as the event isn't aimed at techy types.

Cheers
