There's already a pretty high correlation between how github works and the legislative process, so it makes sense to consider github for a framework for our debate/amendment mechanisms or even a github integration.
I suggest we do this once we have topics up and potentially create a repository for each topic. I know this is a little down the road but had some specific thoughts I wanted to get down
The top of the page would look like this:
Feed would show the feed of activities like we've talked about in the other issue, only focused on the relevant topic
Problems are the equivalent of Github's Issues - a starting point for discussion that leads to proposals/pull requests. People should be able to vote on the top problems related to each topic. Each bill should have at least one problem and people can subscribe to follow proposals related to specific problems. We'd also be able to tag congressional bills with specific problems
Proposals are the equivalent of pull requests. People can suggest edits with explanations instead of commits/commit messages.
Amendments to liquid legislation are treated as pull requests to the initial pull request that people can comment on and show support for specific changes. The author gets to decide which to accept and then puts the final version up for a vote. We should provide some mechanism to contact everyone who participated in the discussion when the voting starts.
Ideally, there'd be a way for someone who's proposal gets rejected to start their own pull request and transfer the data/support over.
Bills are what happen once the initial author tries to merge your pull request; they go to get voted on. This page will also include all Congressional bills, with each proposed amendment treated as a pull request on that bill.
In this case the "master branch" is the US law, which we can actually add in and allow people to build off of or just have liquid lawmakers start with a blank slate from which they can bring in relevant laws themselves if they want
