Nov 18 2012: I offer a concept approach at www.YSenate.org and hope to have working product in a few months, looking for collaborators and critical feedback on three new ideas: 1) Primary Color Voting, 2) Neighborhood Delegate Clustering, and 3) Integration with Git for line item legislative voting. I would love your feedback, please check out the concept pitch.
Nov 18 2012: The line item veto is an often resurrected and killed idea that could mutate into a viable form with Git. I'm a lawyer/computer engineer and this is exactly what I'm trying to implement with a new www.YSenate.org project. The project builds directly off of Shirky's explanations. I'm looking for contributors and critics, would love for you to take a look.
Oct 1 2012: I'm a lawyer/computer engineer working on a similar type of web application and am looking to collaborate with others. My relevant repos are private right now, but my github handle is charlesjshort.
