Briefs List
From DoWire Wiki
We're busy brainstorming a list of e-democracy features. Much of the content below will evolve from a discussion into structured articles in a future Democracies Online Best Practices Guide.
In the near term, volunteers with the Best Practices Leadership Team are encouraged to focus their efforts on priority briefs through mid-January 2005.
The brief strategy and initial briefs organization thoughts are available. The possible brief topics are roughly organized at this point. Feel free to push the edit button and put ideas in their proper place.
