Some time ago, I came upon an idea during a conversation. This person had an interesting idea as to how to organize a law to specifically address a social issue and I figured that there must be many "regular" people on this earth with great ideas but no easy way to refine and get them to actionable status. Recognizing this untapped potential along with my experience with open source, I combined this hypothesized need with an older idea I had concerning forum reorganization and came up with ideapackets.
It doesn't have to be a place just for bill propositions but also for charters and protocols, anything which can help reorganize our collective knowledge into actionable outlined courses of action.
Practically, it would have a user submit a proposal using a form designed to identify its components so that the community can comment on each one. Each component (provision) would have its own own thread. This organization can hopefully help keep refinements focused on the specific small part at hand so that, overall, the proposal comes out with accurate, expert-driven steps to action. Each of these threads would allow viewers to vote on the refinements - that's the "merging" part of the process. Eventually, the community as a whole would have proposed, voted on, and put together a community-sourced plan of action to tackle any organizational issue, I hope.
If you think this shows potential, let me know. I'll be posting my progress and asking for input so you will have a direct impact on how this tool turns out.
