[OpenSpending] Announcing A New Architectural Roadmap For OpenSpending!

[Meg Foulkes]

Dear All,

As you may have read over on the OpenSpending blog
<http://community.openspending.org/blog/>, Rufus and Tryggvi have been
working hard on a new vision for our community work together. You can read
the proposal that was accepted in full here
<http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Flabs.openspending.org%2Fosep%2F01-approach-and-architecture-of-openspending.html&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNEmkHOTDXVLgGWwT9UtaUCi-X9Tnw>
.

This new design means:


   - an OpenSpending ecosystem of smaller pieces, more loosely joined.
   - an OpenSpending to which it is easier to contribute, in which it is
   easier to connect your solution to the global budget data initiative.
   - an OpenSpending that is easier to improve; instead of one monolithic
   codebase that nobody wants to touch, it means smaller , more accessible
   projects that we hope will inspire your participation.

In short, it’s an empowering of the awesome OpenSpending community which
lies at the heart of everything we do.

What do you think? We'd love to hear your thoughts - please join the
conversation!
