I am a big fan of mySociety's "make it happen" style of work. Ideally, we'd see the broader "democracy development" community - like the members states of http://www.community-democracies.org - take notice and start fostering code sharing for core democracy apps that can be used in emerging democracies but ALSO inspire code use and enhancements from the growing civic tech movement. Why not use democracy enhancing code in MN and .MN (Minnesota and Mongolia)?
With multiple elections every month - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_electoral_calendar_2015 - an engine for helping voters finding who is on their ballot and increasingly crucial social media links via Your Next Representative could be improved for ALL democracies with each election. - Cheers, Steven Clift, E-Democracy.org P.S.
