Over this week­end (9 – 11^th April) I watched on Ustream the Cit­ab­il­ity CODEATHON. I already knew about Cit​ab​il​ity​.org from Silona Bone­wald (@Silona on twit­ter), but the codea­thon (from an spec­tator point of view) was very inter­est­ing as both dis­cus­sions and prototypes.

What is cit​ab​il​ity​.org?
Cit­ab­il­ity sup­ports mak­ing pub­lic gov­ern­ment doc­u­ments and data avail­able online and cit­able such that they can be eas­ily ref­er­enced for pub­lic debate, com­ment­ary and ana­lysis. This requires that archived ver­sions of doc­u­ments be stored and link­able so that changes can be eas­ily spot­ted and ref­er­ence links remain intact.
