If the creator is listening, I have some comments for your site: What if I copy and paste it into something like Microsoft Word? If I copy and paste it into an input element in my browser that expects markdown, will it be copying just plaintext markdown? When I save the document, is it just plain markdown as text?

Many government departments do a big song and dance about 'transparency'. By making it very public, government departments will feel strong pressure to acknowledge and respond in a reasoned way. On the second point, under the current system they can simply put your submission through the shredder if they don't like your suggestions. (b) for participants to be able to make pull-requests, forcing the government department to answer in the positive of negative and give reasons. (a) consultation participants to see and comment on each others' suggestions (think Greenpeace commenting on Shell's submission regarding fuel tax credits, and vice-versa) and I'd like to see infrastructure that would allow: The participants don't see each others' comments, it's just a 1-1 type relationship between the government department and the 'consultee'. At the moment (at least in Australia), the best we can do in this regard is 'exposure draft' consultation.īasically a draft of the legislation is put on some consultation website, and people can send in big long essays via email. But I guess my hidden objective here would be to open up the legislation making process to the public.
