Editor's Notes

  • #8 For all stakeholders in local governance, - location based - citizens can participate in local policy making . , collabotaive reporting – their view of the priority buy voting , available through dashboards. Tools for local councils – feedback , “request for social audit“ - instead of govt employing people , real feedback from citizens. Create local groups , vote for member of the group . Supports widgets and feeds - can be embed in council website /elected representative - Goes where people are rather than asking them to come to a single website. Notification for consulation –Dashboard – quick snapshots for local , regional and national Mobile access - people can take pictures etc and upload it to the platform
