I'm working on a project with ideas expressed at YSenate.org

We are trying to tackle exactly this type of problem in an open source way.

The big problem with open politics is the entropy of 'too many people talking at the same time.' To reduce the entropy the approach is to break the group into pieces and then put them back together. The fundamental postulate of YSenate.org is derived from Huffman Coding with the additional criterion that each individual is given equal weight. This results in a binary tree political organization.

We are also looking to integrate Git for legislative drafting and primary color votes to address the "Curse of Dimensionality."
