This is some really cool stuff, it really feels like the future of governance strategies. Even better, the software is libre. Other governments should take note.


Yes, I'm worried that until it gets significant traction outside Taiwan, it is vulnerable to the political fortunes there... Wider participation in the project would be very beneficial, now and in any darker future. Would love to see update even at the municipal level overseas.


Also interesting is Estonia's X-Road platform: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Road


Is this the same Audrey Tang who implemented Pugs (the first partial Perl 6 implementation)?
