LiquidFeedback

About the time I started getting back into programming and started this blog, Reddit kinda tried to start a Pirate Party.  Some of us were kicking around software-based ways to make collective decisions - it didn't really amount to anything.  But I do remember one of the Germans being pretty interested.

I'm pretty sure that interest ended up influencing the new online collaborative decisionmaking software LiquidFeedback.  It is, of course, open source.  Here's the further-development page.  Seems to be Lua!
