As an example, I been told that the Finnish pirate party has a<br>
pretty well maintained server which also others can use, if they so wish.<br>
We will also, pretty soon, have a member database which could be useful<br>
for others. Many pirate parties have members who are professional web<br>
designers, coders, techies, people with all kinds of special knowledge.<br>
Some of them are willing to help in the area of their expertise.<br>
</blockquote></div><br>I thinks that a joint IT team would be great. It has been suggested many times.<br><br>We have common needs (internal tools, mosty) that could be developed once, and then reused by all the pirate parties.<br>
<br>On the other hand, some smaller parties probably lack IT staff, and can't afford to dedicate people to this team.<br>
