Wiki Collaboration Within Political Parties: Benefits and Challenges
نویسنده
چکیده
We report here a case study of the only wiki that, at the time of writing, had been significantly used by a political party: the Green Party of Canada’s (GPC’s) Living Platform. The GPC is a quickly growing federal party whose mandate is to address environmental issues and improve the democratic process. The party created the Living Platform to engage Canadian citizens in the development of its political platform. Anyone was free to view and edit the document. We interviewed several major participants about their experiences with and reflections on the project. Our analysis of these interviews is intended to guide future initiatives that employ a wiki towards a similar end.
