[okfn-discuss] Why is there no legal discussion OKF list?

Mon Sep 16 15:58:59 UTC 2013

We have an incubating working group on open legislation:
http://wiki.okfn.org/Working_Groups/openlegislation although it's been very
quiet on the list of late: http://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/open-legislation/

That would be a great place to start discussions on making legal data open,
although all topics are welcome on okfn-discuss.
