[open-government] API for brainstorming and example

Thanks for the reply,

I like the idea of e-democracy.org. Creating one platform than different
community can use.

## How I see a brainstorm web site
A  forum is nice for a linear discussion but not so good to fix a problem. I
can see mainly this different point:
- subjects duplication
- no subject popularity ordering
- linear discussion when is more interesting to have the "good" answer first

Look at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/ or  http://stackoverflow.com/ those
systems are better to find a solution to a problem.

With this kind of structure the current subject is automatically the subject
than most people think is important.

## The API
So if you look on http://wiki.open311.org/GeoReport_v1 this is an open API
specification for a 311 service.
