Thanks so much for posting this Joi!

I had a good talk with Larry last month about doing the community produced content on legislation!

Working with Jimmy Wales and Bill Bradley for creating a wikipedia like site for politics. See transparentfederalbudget.com and waaa.pbwiki.com for the results of the workshop we had in August.

Illuminatedbudget.org will go live on the 15th I hope.

I get to go talk to the NZ govt in November. They actually put up a real wiki on the police riot act. We will talk about my software design and how it could possibly help them in the future.

Cheers!
Silona
