Category:Green party: Difference between revisions

'''Green parties''' were among the first in the [[:Category:Earth|world]] to use [[wiki]]s for platform development.  In addition to early small scale prototypes like [[Mark Dilley]]'s work with Green Party of Michigan, the first national {{tag|political}} platform was created by the [[Green Party of Canada]]'s Living Platform (GPC LP) project.  [http://LP.GreenParty.ca The current GPC LP] is under [[:Category:Wiki Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike|CC-BY-NC-SA]], and therefore allows any other [[:Category:Nonprofit|non-profit]] entity, including other parties, to copy its material, as long as the authorship and attribution records are fully preserved (as all open content [[:Category:Wiki License|licenses]] require).  For instance, [[openpolitics.ca]] incorporated all of the GPC-LP basic materials when it [[fork]]ed off to create a non-partisan issue-focused system.

An extraordinary array of standards and precedents exists for Green parties using wikis: [http://openpolitics.ca/green+web Standards for web hosting for Green parties], [http://openpolitics.ca/naming+conventions+for+international+Green+Party+policy naming conventions for international policy], and [http://openpolitics.ca/policy+terms policy terms] – which closely resemble ''[http://lp.greenparty.ca/tiki-index.php?page=policy+terms the original Green Party terms]''.  This work is available to other Greens worldwide, or to any party that wishes to make its policy more sustainable and reduce the human {{tag|Ecology|ecological}} footprint.

''More theoretical papers describing the use of wiki by Green parties include [http://openpolitics.ca/Efficient+Politics Efficient Politics] (which describes the basic theory and inspired the initial projects), [http://openpolitics.ca/Living+Platform+in+Practice Living Platform in Practice], and [http://openpolitics.ca/Lean+Green+Machine Lean Green Machine], all [http://openpolitics.ca/by+Craig+Hubley by Craig Hubley], who also influenced [[Consumerium]], [[let.sysops.be]], [[DKosopedia]], [[Embodiment wiki]], and others.  In addition see an [http://openpolitics.ca/political+wiki analysis of the specific needs of political wikis, which differ from their apolitical counterparts].''

If the world-wide Green Party would like to develop their 'Platform' using [[WhatIsWiki|wikis]], or set up some section or subsection where this [[:Category:Issue-focused|issue-focused]] internal debate can take place, a list of Green associated wikis is the logical starting point.
