From E-Democracy.org

By "next generation" we do not mean "new" ideas for the sake of new.

We are looking for:

- ... and it should be universal to all local communities in a democracy.

- ... and pushes the envelope with new experiments, features, etc. that have a serious potential to qualify as "should be universal" in future years but needs to be fully tested.

Further, we are seeking:

System changing ideas and opportunities
- ... things that can be incorporated into many communities in a distributed fashion."

- ... not just nice to have. Is this highly subjective? Yes. That is why we need your input and are starting from a bias affirming democracy and community building versus more narrow traditional e-government services, so-called Government 2.0, or journalism approaches.
