An Idea Whose Time Has Come

I found something interesting on the web the other day. The Knight Foundation is sponsoring a contest to fund the development of online projects that would improve local online news and deepen community engagement. When I first saw the site and read the goals of the project, I immediately thought… ‘Where is the online resource where I can get comprehensive and unbiased political information about what’s going on in my local district?’

Well, there is none… so I put in a proposal.

The more people that I can get to view, rate and comment positively on the proposal, the better chance I have of getting it funded. I think it’s an idea whose time has come and I would appreciate your assistance in getting it considered as a viable plan by the guys at Knight.

So if you can, please take a look at my proposal (link below) and rate or comment on it:

My Proposal: The Open Government Project

Thanks!
