Throwing caution to the wind.
http://visiblepolitics.org is live.
It is a TOTALLY open project, so please jump in and shake it up.
Totally open, except I guess for the main objective:
"VisiblePolitics is a project to create a complete listing of
Canadian federal politicians (elected and running for office) parties
and ridings, with information about policies, funding, voting
records, public statements, press, among other things.
VisiblePolitics is a source of information; it is NOT a source of, or
forum for advocacy of any kind."
HOW YOU CAN HELP:
1. Find out who your Member of Parliament is
2. Visit the site:
http://visiblepolitics.org3. Add some info about your MP (you can copy some stuff from
Wikipedia, some from the Canadian Parliament website, and ideally
from the mess that is Elections Canada’s financial info site).
Note that info should be lean and objective, and not editorial.
OR:
4. Help with layout, wikiness, project direction, and tools (RSS
aggregator in the wiki!!)
