[consulting] Examples of using Drupal in public service, for transparency and collaboration

[Zohar Stolar - Linnovate]

Hi all,


I was asked by a mayor of a big city to build a proposal for a website 
that will be used by the city's committees (education, transport, 
health...).

The website should allow the committees to publish their protocols, and 
receive feedback from the public, as well as compose new procedures, and 
development plans, together with the public, in full transparency.

While you'd say: "why... that's a simple OG installation, or even 
simpler!", I do need to show few examples of already working systems (no 
one wants to be the first fro some reason :) ).


Could you point me to existing uses of Drupal in public service, where 
the site is used not only for publishing official announcements, but 
also for discussing with the public, and using it as a real democratic tool?


We're trying to push Drupal as a tool to increase democracy and 
transparency in local authorities (medium to big cities), so anything 
which would help the mayor to take the right decision (that is - Drupal) 
is welcome.


Thanks a lot!
