This document provides an overview of the WeGov project, which aims to help policymakers better engage with citizens using social media. It discusses the need to bridge the gap between what citizens use (social networks) and what policymakers currently use. The project involves building a toolbox of tools to analyze discussions on social networks, extract and inject information, and help policymakers participate in online discussions while respecting privacy and encouraging trust. It outlines the current status of the project and plans for further developing and evaluating the toolbox tools.
