I came across this article on slashdot (a tech site). It's an excellent idea that is working for a lot of communities. http://radar.oreilly.com/2010/04/crowdsourcing-the-dpw.html Is this something that can work in Bangalore? This a great way to report issues such that they are visible to everyone. The reports that are in the newspaper are easily forgotten. But this way it will remain until fixed. We will also be able to guage the responsiveness of our local governments. Discuss.
Thanks, Nithin.
