I was really hoping this project would be legislation voting and tracking for the people. I vaguely remember a project from 5 or so years ago that was called Open Gov based around legislation. Did OpenGov pivot? Maybe it was called something else.

Indeed, our non-profit project OpenGovernment.org, launched in Jan. 2011, is still available in open-source code for legislative tracking: https://goo.gl/ThcG00. This includes the GovKit Ruby gem, which aggregates open government data with social context to make legislative info more accessible. We're always looking to re-boot OpenGovernment.org (OG for short) to focus on contacting state-level elected officials and discussing issues in the news on the open web - more about our goals of open data at every level of gov't: http://opengovernment.org/pages/about.html. And yes, as Derek said, check out Councilmatic for city-level transparency and engagement.

You're probably referring to http://opengovernment.org/ by the Sunlight Foundation and Participatory Politics Foundation (PPF).

The work continues! My company DataMade is working with PPF to make local legislation more accessible, starting with Chicago, New York and Philly: http://councilmatic.org/
