[liberationtech] Crowd wisdom in the service of the government

[Tarik Nesh-Nash]

Dear friends,

Thanks a lot for your feedback and examples.

I wanted to come back to you and I ask a more detailed question.

I am researching on how my government can use collective intelligence (or
the wisdom of the crowd) to "better" function in general. I am more
thinking of a platform where the government raises questions/problems, and
asks the citizens for proposals and feedback.
This is different from grassroot (or civil society) initiatives to use
crowdsourcing, as this would be used by the government itself.
Also, the question may be general or specific, but it is asked by the
government.

Are there similar initiatives that you may know of?

Thanks,
Tarik
