The Madison Project is an open source tool enabling participation between legislators and the public. It’s as easy as posting a Google doc for public comment, but can be customized by any government to encourage public feedback on draft policy. When I began my work with OpenGov Foundation, I saw Madison as an opportunity to bring a new model of governance to Wichita. Seeing other cities like Washington, D.C., using Madison to engage the public in a conversation around policy creation convinced me that this was something greatly needed here.
