It's not for software, it's for text. Is the law no longer written in text?
- walshemj 9y agoThere are already "workflows" designed for parliamentary procedures Citrine's ABC of Chairmanship and Roberts rules are two examples.
- bobwaycott 9y agoThe suggestion isn’t to use git or a git-like for procedures, but for tracking the text of laws.
- walshemj 9y agoYes that is how Citrine and Roberts are used today in parliamentary systems I have been doing this for years for formal conferences. The procedure is similar to they way git is used for code though with a greater or lesser amount of automation - in the old days you had multiple documents and you physically cut and pasted them together to produce the final document
