Say, any new online tools from the UK that kick America's butt with transparency?
I'll definitely mention WhatDoTheyKnow and OpenlyLocal from the UK because they seem particularly unique. What else is really making government more transparent online? Steven Clift I am on a quest to discover some new tools to share with a media-oriented audience at the "Other Future of News Gathering" in Minneapolis on Saturday. That event is co-located with the Minnesota Civic Hackathon I am organizing - http://pages.e-democracy.org/Hackathon - as part of a weekend of events promoted by the Sunlight Foundation. It is often mentioned that the decline of the economic model supporting journalism, particularly newspapers, will mean fewer public meetings and government actions will be subject to the accountability that comes from active reporting. What emerging online tools and projects are helping address the potential loss of government accountability? I am collecting examples here in two categories: http://pages.e-democracy.org/Tools_for_transparency - Transparency Tools for Reporting - Government Data Reused Either reply here or add them to the wiki (no registration required). I am particularly interested in some new state and local examples that complement many of national sites we hear so much about.
