This is a draft plan of work for the new People's Weekly World editorial board. The main ideas were projected at the December 27th and 28th editorial board retreat.

The revolution will be networked. The Party's political reach extends only as far as our ability to communicate and collaborate with each other, our allies and the general public.

Note: This article contains a 2/28/02 update at the end.

The Internet is just a tool among many we have, like the printing press, the telephone, or the television.
