A new political paradigm: Open politics
The text bellow is the invitation letter for the movement for internet democracy. Feel free to share your opinion about this.
The open source concept is tightly related to the idea that it is through working for common good that an individual realizes his personal benefit. This principle is especially used in the software domain, since it concerns information that is not material and therefore can be limitlessly distributed. Although the open source concept has been known since the 1970-s, all its force has successfully come to life thanks to the advent of the Internet, a medium that enables a free distribution of information on the world level.
Except in the domain of information science, the open source concept can successfully be applied to other spheres that deal with distribution of information. The concept can be successfully used in politics, and applied to all individuals and groups of individuals that lead socially important projects. They can expect the assistance of the whole community interested in the realization of the idea or project, similarly to the way it works in the software domain.
Open politics requires full transparency of political action and therefore provides political subjects with full legitimacy and organic interconnectedness with the whole society, which guarantees the realization of political projects that have been unimaginable up to now. The superiority of the new political paradigm cannot be compared to the existing, closed political structures that base their success on the cooperation of an incomparably smaller number of people, and that are hindered by the paralyzing skepticism towards the revealed corruption of such structures.
In order for the new paradigm of open politics to successfully come to life, it is necessary for a sovereign political community to introduce an open Internet interface that enables a transparent discussion and the equality of all the users of this free communication channel. Lead by the vision of the new interface, the project Forum is adapted to the special requirements that enable the foundation of a new era in social leadership, an era that will represent the age of internet democracy through the process of taking full legitimacy from the existing political structures.
It is this way that I therefore I appeal to the much respected ladies and gentlemen to join us with their resources in the realization of the new political order. Please find attached the detailed description of the interface structure, which is the first step that has to be made in order for this revolutionary political process to start as soon as possible.

Re: A new political paradigm: Open politics
I don't get it. There's no attachment, no URL, no email address, nobody has replied to it, it's over a year old ... and yet it sits high up on the list of posts.
