I think the experience of the professors’ national strike on 23 March is worth more examining, and there are plenty of lessons to be learned from it.
One of the things I like about the current campaign is the blog the profs launched, not only to publicize their action, but also to communicate with one another from one province to the other.
Prior to the strike, the organizers engaged with fellow profs, receiving suggestions posted usually in the comments sections or sent by emails, and after the strike the blog is a place where profs from various departments in Cairo and the provinces post reports about the turn out and evaluate the performance.
