CiviWiki
An open-source democratic engagement web system featuring a wiki, personalized policy feed, and tools for citizen-representative engagement.
What is CiviWiki?
CiviWiki is an open-source democratic engagement web system designed to improve political participation in the digital era. It combines a collaboratively edited wiki on political issues with a personalized policy feed and tools to connect citizens with their representatives. The project addresses the problem of political disengagement and information overload by structuring policy debates and providing actionable insights.
Civic-minded volunteers, political activists, researchers, and developers interested in building tools for democratic participation and government transparency. It's also for citizens seeking a more structured way to understand policies and compare them with candidates.
Developers choose CiviWiki because it's a comprehensive, open-source alternative to proprietary civic platforms, built by a non-profit community focused on transparency and collective impact. Its unique modular content structure ('Civies') and dual personalization approach offer a novel way to engage with complex political information.
