Yeah. So we will have to make a tool that lends itself to writing a Constitution, just as mediawiki lends itself to writing a encyclopedia. We are technologists here not legal people, so we would have to draw them in too. We'd have to look at other constitutions and decide what kind of models we wanted to follow... but the point of a crowdsourcing activity is to build a good tool and let the community generate the content... rather that me (or us) deciding the approach and content here.
Laxmi, Look into how the Icelandic constitution was written after the financial crisis there. That might give you some sense of how the process could be made to work. In our context we'd have to find good way to get information across the digital divide as well. Your point is well made, but nothing we start out with is sufficient (even a elected CA proved insufficient so it really is an tough nut to crack)... the better question is can we lay the seed of something that becomes sufficient. -S On Wed, Nov 7, 2012 at 1:09 PM, Laxmi Khatiwada <[email protected]>wrote: > Just to make an open source संविधान (Sambhaan=constitution) is not > sufficient issue.
