#versioning #git #participatory #lawmaking

I am looking for good examples of using online version control systems to formulate and maintain rules, codes and laws in a transparent & participatory way.

We have an interesting conversation with an #anarchist #historian friend, which may lead towards new approach to co-creation of a social dynamics inside and among collectives.

Proof of concept needed.

Kinda obvious example – codeberg.org has their privacy policy as a repo and there are issues and pull requests there, with the normal discussions that one would expect (e.g. there is an open issue about AI). I think it’s the same for similar documents on their page, but I haven’t double-checked.

Many repositories for various software also have codes of conduct within version control and they sometimes get discussed through it, but that is probably too limited of an example to be useful.

There is also stuff like arstechnica.com/tech-policy/20…, but that is a weak simulacrum of the process at best.

How I changed the law with a GitHub pull request

Washington DC has made GitHub the authoritative digital source for DC laws.

you mean agreements, not laws, I guess. Anarchists are not too much into laws. 😅
Would something like an etherpad be good enough? You might need a separate tool to discuss the agreements before deciding on them.

No and no. :)
