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
- OpenPolitics: apparently includes some attempt to support voting (within the site) on issues identified as significant
- MorePerfect (wiki, forum, and blog): collaboration on laws and public policy
- 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."
- news article about projects with similar intent (but a slightly different approach) to this one
- dKosopedia: "a collaborative project of the DailyKos community to build a political encyclopedia"
- World Citizen (alt) at Wikia (formerly WikiCities)
- Activism Wiki (alt) at Wikia (formerly WikiCities) (still very small as of 2005-04-07)
