The Law Factory
Description
The Law Factory project it's a tool that allows citizens to follow the process of law making .
The parliamentary process is very similar to a collaborative software development workflow so existing tools have been adapted to aggregate all the proposals, amendments and "developers" (MPs) making it easier to understand who contributed to define a specific law.
The article "OpenGov Voices: How GitLaw turns the French parliamentary process into open data" written on the Sunlight Foundation web site provides more information about the project.
The site "La Fabrique de la loi" (French) it's a working example of the project.
