This document proposes and summarizes a platform called "AapkaManch" for the Aam Aadmi Party. The platform would have a hierarchical organizational structure covering over 5,000 blocks in India. It would allow for private and public groups, task and event management, and Facebook login. Additional features would include the ability to follow groups, create groups, and upload photos. The platform is open source and built using standard technologies like Bootstrap, MySQL, and Python/JavaScript. It is intended to help manage contacts, queries, and communications for the Party. A private beta is planned within 1-2 weeks followed by a public beta to gather more user feedback.
