Hi folks, I’ll be stationed in the UK for 2009, so don’t be too surprised if I start posting more UK and European links (though the Canadian stuff will inevitably flow as well). While this project will focus on elections and other political campaigns on the net our research group tends to come from Communication, information, and media studies backgrounds. Political science associations, however, also offer some wonderful online resources. Let me just start off my contribution to this project blog then with a couple links. Later, I will post a more comprehensive bibliography for a book that a number of us at the IRL are writing this summer and fall, tentatively entitled “Politics 2.0: The Permanent Campaign” -GE
UK Political Science Association (which also includes a page for resources on South Korea)
An ESRC project on internet and politics in the UK (seems to be a couple years old now, but lots of good papers)

Thanks for these links; they have, indeed, much relevant material. The portal, i-pol, may as you say, not be up-to-date and probably because it was maintained by Wainer Lusoli who is now based in southern Europe and perhaps has less available time for maintaining the site.
Yet another reference, which may command the status of ‘Bible’, is the Routledge Handbook of Internet Politics, edited by Andrew Chadwick and Philip Howard (Routledge, 2009). Both of us have chapters in that book and these might easily serve as ‘fodder’ for a critical reading by WCU team members….
