Description
"The OSPT (open-source poli* toolkit) is a set of technological tools and organizational techniques to organize groups working towards shared goals. "Open source politics" is the application of this toolset to the political arena; "open source policy" is the ideal it aims to support. Its basic philosophy is that openness and transparency are powerful ways to keep groups of people happy and working together, and that the open source movement is the primary known application of that idea to actual shared endeavors. For that reason, we believe that application of the lessons learned in open-source software can be applied to problems in other areas, such as government." (http://mondoglobo.wftk.org/wiki/OSPT)
