I think software of this kind is the future of collective decision making (government), but as you say this sort of thing is very much in its infancy and it will probably be many years before really compelling systems emerge.
- avar 16y agoWe already have compelling systems for most things. Open data formats for things the government produces, version control that could be used for legislation etc. Just think about how much accountable legislators would be if they were all forced to use Git, and you could annotate any piece of legislation.
- motters 16y agoVersion controlled laws would be a great idea. You could have an rss feed for each law and subscribe to any changes or make comments on the changes. So all this sort of technology exists now, and what's to be done is more about assembling those things into a form which is customised for government use.
