[AG Liquid Democracy] Offene e-Democracy-Architektur

[Thomas von der Elbe <ThomasvonderElbe AT gmx.de>]

Hallo Leute,

für die von Euch, die nicht auf der Berliner Squad-Liste oder der 
Votorola-Liste sind:

Mike (Votorola) möchte gern einen Vorschlag zur Diskussion stellen für 
eine offene e-Democracy-Architektur.
Die hat wohl sehr viele Vorteile, was ich aber am besten finde: all 
unsere verschiedenen Tools wären darin verbunden: Adhocracy, Crabgrass, 
LiquidFeedback, Votorola, usw. könnten nebeneinander existieren und die 
User könnten beliebig rumprobieren, ...

Hier Mike:

I'm floating this as a kind of architectural "kite", just for 
discussion. I scraped together some rough sketches of 4 frameworks, with 
non-technical commentary for each. The frameworks are:

 1. Registration
 2. Differencing
 3. Classification
 4. Autocasting

This follows on Martin's recent posts about competition etc., and
talks with Thomas on the same topic.  It's all too rough to stand as a
technical proposal, so there's maybe no point in going into a lot of
detail, yet.  But it raises some broad questions, going forward:

 *  Did I miss any obvious frameworks?

 *  What's the roadmap for something like this?  Does anyone have
    experience with large-scale architectures, standards processes,
    and so forth?

 *  What big problems (tech and non-tech) are likely?

 *  Did I fail to credit anyone for ideas?  Is this being discussed
    anywhere else?
