Crowed Tagging

This page is about how site’s users will tag laws. The current focus is on creating a crowd sourcing app that will encourage user votes. The app will encourage the user to tag votes and vote on them. The app will also process all votes to create and update a set of consensus tags.

User Scenario

Out user is a talkbackist. He’s a guy in a boring job, where he sits by the computer and tells the world what he thinks through nrg, ynet, walla, etc. talkbacks and different online forums – such as Tapuz and the marker cafe. Our user is smart. He is sure of it, and as the user is always right, we have to accept that he’s smart.

User checks for news

He logs in to open-knesset’s site and reads the news stream. Sees there’s a new law he hasn’t read about it: he clicks it. reads the law and the tags so far. He’s not happy, it’s a filthy legal code and should be tagged as ‘green’: clicks to comment. Enters his enlightening argument and vote’s green up and development down.
