How about django-public-project? The following is from their description at http://django-public-project.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ http://django-public-project.readthedocs.org/en/latest/: Django Public Project (DPP) is a specialised content management system written in Python/Django for building an information website around big projects. It is open source (BSD licence) and can be used by civic groups to monitor the progress of publicly funded projects but also from within governmental institutions itself to bring transparency in the proceeding of a project, inform the interested public about what is going on and thus enhance the acceptance of the project by the different stakeholders. It is currently being used by the investigative comittee of the Berlin city parliament in order to investigate the massive clusterfk that is the city's new and very disfuntional airport (BER). The source code can be found at: https://github.com/holgerd77/django-public-project https://github.com/holgerd77/django-public-project Regarding participation of ordinary citizens, the docs say: On DPP websites users can comment on nearly everything and connect their comments to various elements of the project. Comments are then shown alongside every connected element. All admin users having activated the “Receive new comment emails” in the admin user settings receive an email after someone sent a comment and can then activate the comment to be shown on the website. http://django-public-project.readthedocs.org/en/latest/users.html#user-comments http://django-public-project.readthedocs.org/en/latest/users...
