There's also been some interesting and successful projects to faciliate citizen involvement in government coming out of New Zealand in the last year or so. http://wiki.policeact.govt.nz/ A wiki to capture public views on what a new Police Act might look like. http://www.thecouch.org.nz/ The Couch - where the Families Commission can gather direct input about issues relating to family life in NZ. http://www.safeas.govt.nz/smf/ The Road Safety Forum. Surely the real challenge with these projects though has got to be in the collation of this information. What techniques are being used to turn what goes on in these spaces into information useful to policy makers and legislators? Any links about this would be much appreciated!
