More than interesting. It would be a way to account what people say and what they do.

What is the most serious attempt out there of trying this?

I would want a law saying all bills must be put through a system that can be audited to see precisely who makes the changes.

And if it allows pull requests like GitHub, anyone could fork a bill, make a change, and people could comment on the best proposed recordings.

I think this could honestly get people more involved in politics in a productive way, rather than watching talking heads spout reactionary crystal ball gazing on the 24 hour news networks.

Which is why there isn't such a thing. :)
