Perhaps you know of governments that have automated their government consultations calendar?
This sounds like an ideal open source opportunity where the solution could be shared widely to benefit of citizens everywhere. Perhaps something leveraging Poplus.org components? - Steven Clift The request to the NZ open gov forum: From: aimee whitcroft <[email protected]> Date: Mon, Apr 20, 2015 at 9:22 PM Subject: [ninjas] Consultations listing on Govt.nz To: [email protected] Hi all Hope you're doing swimmingly today! I've been really remiss* in mentioning this here already, but: Govt.nz has been working on compiling a national list of consultations, both national and local. At present we compile them manually (so not doubt we're missing some), but we're looking at ways to auomate/improve that. You can find the listing at http://www.govt.nz/consultations You'll notice that the page itself only shows those consultations which are open, or those which have recently closed or about to open. Not to worry, though - we are keeping all of them in the database on the backend, and will surface them all through our API when that's ready. We've also been talking to people about which extra features they'd like to see on the listing (it's an MVP, so relatively basic). Suggestions have included: - a visual map where people can select areas of interest - more filtering options (national v local, date ranges, areas) - notifications by email of any filters chosen - ability to combine multiple filters in a boolean-type way. More suggestions and comment always welcome, of course!
