Open politics (Openpolitics.ca): Difference between revisions

|engine            = Tikiwiki

{{tag|Canada|Canadian}} {{tag|politics}} and {{tag|government|e-government}} in [[issue/position/argument]] form, a widely-used 'multiple [[:Category:PointOfView|point of view]]' ({{tag|MPOV}}) format which allows positions of many parties and major groups to co-exist on the same page without overwriting or censoring each other.  Similar to [[More Perfect]] and [[DKosopedia]] in the [[:Category:United States|US]], and [[uk.openingpolitics.org]] in the [[:Category:United Kingdom|UK]], '''OpenPolitics.ca''' set some methodological and terminology precedents other {{tag|political}} [[wiki]]s use:

* the [http://openpolitics.ca/terms+of+use terms of use] integrating [[:Category:Wiki Creative Commons Attribution|CC-BY]] contribution from individual users and releasing joint works under [[:Category:Wiki Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike|CC-BY-SA]] and [[:Category:Wiki Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike|CC-BY-NC-SA]]

Weaknesses include a lack of user pages ({{tag|tikiwiki}} support for these is extremely poor), no effective social features, and infrequent updates to the main page.  The project has been seemingly neglected for long periods leaving some pages to fall out of date, and there has been active effort to revisit and update pages, even those marked clearly with "as of" tags.  There is effectively no use of categories despite the extensive proposal for this.
