Giving The Political Process An Online Boost

Posted by TimSlavin at November 25, 2003

"Tata is providing one of its software engineers gratis to work with researchers from Carnegie Mellon University's Institute for the Study of Information Technology and Society on a Web-based application called Delibera that's intended to promote the political process and civic involvement online." An interesting thought: how to put Roberts Rules of Order and other deliberative processes into code. From Information Week. Rediff has a more complete description of the project. The student newspaper at Carnegie Mellon has even more detail. And rooting around the Carnegie Mellon website yielded a link to a similar project, Vivarto, an open source software tool that also facilitates political deliberation. And the home page for the Carnegie project.
