Greetings. I am currently in search of programmers to help develop an open source, securable, and user friendly voting technology that can be trusted to carry out civic voting tasks far more accurate and accountable than current corporate sponsored voting machines. To begin with, I would like some help developing and implementing an open source polling applet that can be embedded in a web page. This polling app would need to be both tamper resistant and tamper alarming. I choose to define tamper alarming as follows: Upon detecting a tampering or intrusion attempt, the app would both report the attempt to the server and display on the app itself the nature of the attack, the offending ip addresses, and to serve notice to all viewers that the voting process has been compromised. Last summer, I set up a website at http://www.twopointzeronow.org that describes a revolutionary idea I dub Democracy 2.0. In its most basic form, it involves using an internet type WAN or Wide Area Network, along with open source software, to conduct civic affairs directing towards a governmental body enhancing, and perhaps eventually replacing the representative type governing body. To work most effectively towards the common good, a great sense of community must be instilled and preserved so as to guard against unbridled greed, corruption, and other social cancers. One where political parties are non-existent. Where senators and congressmen regularly poll the voters from there districts to find out what they want for the issues of the day, and listen and react to this. As opposed to being "whipped" by a party to vote a certain way. Or to bend to the will of the almighty dollar. Imagine a government free of corruption, where anyone caught with there hand in the till is immediately removed from office and replace by the voters within days (Remember former California governor Gray Davis?) Imagine a form of government where corruption cannot even take root. Where government is run for the benefit of ALL people, and not run like a business for big business. (Greasing the palm is considered standard business practice in most of the world.) I ask if you could visit the site and forward me your thoughts, questions, and criticisms. Thank you.[ Auf dieses Posting antworten ]
