Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : alaveteli Version : 0.17 Upstream Author : http://www.alaveteli.org/contact/ * URL : http://www.alaveteli.org/ * License : AGPL Programming Lang: Ruby Description : free software to help citizens write Freedom of Information requests and automatically publish any responses
Alaveteli is free Social Email software It’s a simple concept: citizens use Alaveteli to request information, and the replies are recorded for all to see on the website. The project’s initial focus is on making Freedom of Information requests, although it can easily be altered for other purposes. Funded by the Open Society Institute and the Hivos Foundation, in its first year the project aims to support the launch of dozens of FOI websites around the world. Historic requests, along with any resulting correspondence, are archived publicly online. This increases the availability of the requested information, and encourages transparency. Therefore, Alaveteli acts both as a useful tool for citizens, and as an advocacy tool for right-to-know campaigners.
