The Washington, DC-based non-profit OpenGov Foundation created the tool Madison to allow civic leaders to post legislation online that citizens can easily comment on. It’s as easy to use as Google docs.
OpenGov helped the city set up a portal at drafts.wichita.gov.
“The process of creating an Open Data Policy within Madison has gone very well. [It captured] many comments, edits and annotations about what people wanted to see in the policy and what areas they felt were important,” Michael Mayta, chief information officer for the city of Wichita, told EffcientGov by email.
