The internet landscape has changed considerably since this list was put together; newer projects such as SourceWatch need to be added, and some discontinued projects should be removed.

Overview
The internet is changing the nature of politics and government. In the face of ever-solidifying media consolidation, blogs now form the backbone of real reporting; web sites dedicated to exploring government, politics, and issues in general are popping up with ever-increasing frequency.
Issuepedia hopes to eventually be part of an interlocking network of such projects which together will provide a sound basis for managing the human realm (humans and everything they interact with) in a way that maximizes freedom and minimizes waste.
The List

- Campaigns Wikia: most similar project yet (found 2006-07-06)
- Wikocracy: "This is a test to see what happens when everyone can write and revise the law." Failed, but offers some valuable lessons.
- news article about projects with similar intent (but a slightly different approach) to this one
