[Open-Legislation] Open Legislation communication tools

Mon Dec 2 16:36:24 UTC 2013

It's not a question of content. This list is simply not the popular one for the topics of legal informatics and open legislation. Here are some that fill that role for me:

https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/legal-informatics-research-network
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/pmo-network

I would focus on "what does the OKF Open Legislation Working Group want to do?" and center conversations around that. Maybe a more critical question is, does the Working Group have anyone to lead/do the work that the group chooses to focus on?

Would you prefer a blog/wiki or rather a discussion group like in LinkedIn?
