I don't expect that this sort of initiative will be a complete success
even with full internet access for everyone. We know from experience
that getting everybody to agree to anything, even to no-brainers, on
line is not an easy task. If the Internet is to be a force in
democratising political institutions for the future it needs to start
somewhere. It's an improvement over the Internet as a massive bitching
forum. At this time recognizing where strong agreement exists, and
isolating the issues that need work will be enough to label this effort
a success. There are too many preconceptions about the meaning of
democracy for us to expect more.
In Egypt, I saw a wiki or two setup for the same purpose, but what seemed to
work well is the use of Google Moderator:
