[edit] The main page learning project
The main page learning project was launched after the redesign of the main page in December 2007. The main page learning project has as its goal "the promotion of responsible involvement of the Wikiversity community in an efficient, productive, open and inclusive maintenance of the Wikiversity main page as a flagship of the activity and values of the Wikiversity community". If you would like to get involved in the design of the main page, this is where to go.
If you have general comments about the main page, but you don't especially want to get involved in the main page project, then you can also leave comments on the talk page for the main page learning project.
If you wish to post something below, go ahead. It's a talk page. But you are more likely to get a response by going to the Colloquium, which is where the main talking at Wikiversity goes on! See you there.
[edit] Great Repeal Bill
It is also hoped that it will provide an insight into public opinion, provide a resource in the area of public policy research and examine if there is a case for popular legislative initiative using wiki thinking.
A parallel effort is being made on a private, "guarded" wiki at ourlaw.wikispaces.com. Part of the outcome that may be sought is to see the difference between the results of an open vs. closed environment. Both wikis are licensed under {{Cc-by-sa-3.0}}, so content may be ported in either direction where appropriate.
A proposed Bill to put before the British Parliament intended to abolish many of the restrictive laws and regulation believed to hamper individual freedom, civic society and business[1].
A wiki Bill, the Great Repeal Bill has been drafted by ordinary citizens in a collaborative effort. It is as much an initiative in open politics and move towards direct democracy as it is an effort in deregulation.
First proposed by Douglas Carswell and Daniel Hannan in their book, The Plan; 12 months to renew Britain, the initiative began on the blog site ConservativeHome in June 2008[2]. It is believed to be the first such experiment in direct democracy which allows voters to directly have a say in the drafting of legislation[3].
There is currently no right of popular initiative in Britain to ensure that popular legislative measures are debated and voted on in the British Parliament[4]. Nor is there at this time a right of referendum. However, working with the political system as it is today, it is hoped that the draft Bill will be presented to Parliament as a Private Members Bill, or ultimately as a government Bill.
