Hi folks, I'm new here, I saw what you guys were doing(via @thej) and wanted to help in whatever way I can.
I made the site a little prettier, and a simple logo - http://karthikb351.github.io/savethemap.in/ I think this is still early days, but I have a few thoughts on how we should approach this if want to drum up support from the public. I think a simplified version of the bill with the implications for various stakeholders would be a good start. An open letter/response only makes sense if the public understands what the bill is about and how it matters to them. @thej, @geohacker - Filed a PR - https://github.com/datameet/savethemap.in/pull/3 Best, Karthik Balakrishnan On Friday, 6 May 2016 17:03:19 UTC+5:30, Vaishnavi Jayakumar wrote: > > > Thejesh, > > I think DocumentCloud is fantastic. > > Have enviously seen it used with great effect to annotate the disability > bill. > > If we have access to all its features we can build a solid case.
