Topix and Wikipedia won’t suffice.
Local governments and communities need to take ownership.
The key lies in getting good data on the web.
BASECAMP FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT
A project-management tool for helping small governments get their information online.
BASECAMP FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT
Once we get the data, create skeleton sites and let communities/local government take ownership

How this benefits everyone
Small governments can use the tool to organize themselves, relieving headaches
One-click publishing gets good information online
Residents have a forum that’s truly local
How we roll this out to all communities
Implement a rollout plan using something similar to Jay Rosen’s 100% solution (cover 100% of one topic, in our case government data)
Start in one county as proof of concept
Take lessons learned from that rollout to reshape the software and workflow for nationwide usage
