Overview

Internet governance is, in short, the idea that the internet could be a substrate upon which a new (and improved, from the citizens' perspective) form of government might be built. It can also refer to using the internet as a tool for incremental improvement of existing government, a process which is already well underway in most developed countries.

This seems to be ORGware's official site, and it is even less informative. (Most of the header links don't even work.) Just give me the damn software already, and stop yammering about how wonderful it is...
