Description
"The Citizens Foundation is an Icelandic non-profit organization focused on developing and promoting tools for citizen democracy worldwide. All the software it creates is released as open source which anybody can use for free. The Citizens Foundation is and will be a neutral entity whose main objective is to foster collaboration between people and their politicians."
The Your Priorities project
"Your Priorities @ www.yrpri.org
This is a global service by the Citizens Foundation. The service will provide a website for every country in the world under the yrpri.org domain.
Using Open Active Democracy software developed by the Citizens Foundation and others, people can add new ideas, add arguments for and against priorities, indicate if they support or oppose an idea, create a personal list of priorities and discuss all priorities. The end results are lists of top priorities in many categories as well as the best arguments for and against each priority.
At launch we plan to offer the following interface languages: Icelandic, English, French, German and Arabic. This is a call out for volunteers to assist in translating to those and other languages. We are also looking for help in developing and testing the software and translations.
Our plan is to launch this service on the 15. April 2011. Only people that are physically located in a given country can help prioritise issues for that country. Example web addresses will be world.yrpri.org, tunisia.yrpri.org, egypt.yrpri.org, france.yrpri.org and iceland.yrpri.org."
