O'Reilly donating ebook "Open Government" as a tribute to Aaron Swartz
I'd like to see more than an Open Government. I'd like to see a web site developed where people read about issues of interest, learn about the benefits and drawbacks to upcoming policies at a centralized location, see how those policies affect budgets (federal, provincial, or municipal), and provide a simple voting mechanism to get a general sense of how agreeable people find the policy. More than that, it would be amazing if people could contribute to the discussion in a moderated fashion (with moderators selected at random, for random intervals of time, to avoid herd-mentality).<p>Something like this:<p>1. <a href="https://bitbucket.org/djarvis/world-politics/wiki/Interests%20Page" rel="nofollow">https://bitbucket.org/djarvis/world-politics/wiki/Interests%...</a><p>2. <a href="https://bitbucket.org/djarvis/world-politics/wiki/Policy%20Page" rel="nofollow">https://bitbucket.org/djarvis/world-politics/wiki/Policy%20P...</a><p>3. <a href="https://bitbucket.org/djarvis/world-politics/wiki/Debate%20Page" rel="nofollow">https://bitbucket.org/djarvis/world-politics/wiki/Debate%20P...</a><p>4. <a href="https://bitbucket.org/djarvis/world-politics/wiki/Supporting%20Page" rel="nofollow">https://bitbucket.org/djarvis/world-politics/wiki/Supporting...</a><p>For anyone curious about the project, check out:<p><a href="https://bitbucket.org/djarvis/world-politics/" rel="nofollow">https://bitbucket.org/djarvis/world-politics/</a>
