Civic Software Draft
A primary goal of Civic Commons is to make it easy for jurisdictions at all levels to deploy compatible software. Pooling resources into a shared projects to develop civic software and protocols reduces costs and avoids duplicated effort; equally importantly, it helps make civic IT expertise more cumulative and portable across jurisdictions, for civil servants, for citizens, and for vendors.
Civic Commons is currently identifying and pulling together key elements of this body of shared code. If you have would like to suggest categories or technologies, or help in other ways, please feel free to edit this page or to contact us.
(And if you work in civic IT, please consider filling out this survey to help us discover civic technologies currently in use.)
