Pic Of The Day: Digital Democracy
Earlier in February, Pete Clifton blogged here about the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú's Digital Democracy project and mentioned the pioneering work of web services like 's .
John O'Donovan (Principal Technical Architect, FM&T Journalism); Tom Steinberg (Director, mySociety); Jem Stone (Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Social Media Group)
Today's Pic Of The Day is of yesterday's afternoon-long brainstorm with Tom Steinberg and Francis Irving of mySociety, asking what the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú could learn from their various and and what unique ingredients the Beeb can bring to complement the work done by charities and volunteers.
If you have any thoughts about how the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú can fulfill its democratic public purposes as defined by the Royal Charter [pdf], please do leave a comment at Pete's post.

What are the rights restrictions for Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Parliament? Does the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú only have 7 day rights? For Lords debates? Commons? Committees?
If we have permanent rights for any of these programmes why do they disappear from iplayer (and hence /programmes) after 7 days?
If we added the ability to link from /programmes episode pages to theyworkforyou debate pages would anyone in Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Parliament populate these links? Would we be breaking any rules?
Just wondering and wondering here cos i don't know who these questions should go to...
