A Facebook group called Upgrade Democracy is collecting a list of
“teams/organizations working on technology-powered solutions to the systemic problems of governance/group decision-making.”
They want help in expanding the list but
“Please don’t add projects that simply use technology to slightly enhance our current political system (e.g. electronic petitions). We’re upgrading the democratic operating system, not tweaking the interface. ;)”
