| There would be six parts to the site:
| |
| | |
| 1) Joining / profile : Members can sign up by OAuth (Twiter, FB, etc),
| |
| OpenID or create an account. They can then enter some basic details
| |
| and upload a photo (or choose to always use their Twitter or FB
| |
| current user pics).
| |
| | |
| 2) Verifying their identity : This is the key part - associating the
| |
| account with a specific person at a specific real-world address. My
| |
| best way of coming up with this is to ask the person to make a £1
| |
| donation to one of a list of charities, using PayPal / Experian to
| |
| supply the name and address of that the credit-card info / PayPal
| |
| inputted data and then linking that to the account. Obviously this is
| |
| highly sensitive data and we would need to be very careful how it is
| |
| stored, transferred, etc.
| |
| | |
| 3) Creating campaigns : Groups such as Amnesty, 38 Degrees and local
| |
| campaigns can apply to create campaigns on the site. This would be
| |
| manually moderated. Campaigns could be flagged as "local" (and then
| |
| limited to a sub-set of post-codes) or national.
| |
| | |
| 4) Users express interest in campaigns : Once a user is verified they
| |
| can see the list of all campaigns that effect them (all ones that
| |
| cover their post code and all national ones). They can then select to
| |
| support (or remove previously given support) from any campaign.
| |
| Optionally they can opt to support annonymously.
| |
| | |
| 5) MPs and other officials : Of particular interest to MPs but can be
| |
| seen by anyone. For any given constituency list the local and national
| |
| campaigns with the most signed up people in that area. Show statistics
| |
| like "3083 named people and 71 anonymous people out of 10,293
| |
| registered voters in the borough of Enfield have Stood Up to support
| |
| keeping Chase Farm A&E open". Optionally show micro-pictures of people
| |
| who have expressed support for the campaign in that area (blanks for
| |
| anonymous).
| |
| | |
| 6) Public campaign pages : Each campaign would have it's own generated
| |
| page with text and artwork and the ability to list the names (and
| |
| numbers of anonymous but verified people) who have pledged support for
| |
| that cause - broken down by constituency.
| |
| | |
| Obviously this is a fair bit of work and would probably need a few
| |
| iterations before being opened to the public. Ideally I would love to
| |
| have some groups like Amnesty, ORG and Oxfam agree to promote it their
| |
| campign emails before making it available.
| |
| | |
| There's also some more thinking about use-cases that need to go into
| |
| this that might involve using the electorial register in some way
| |
| (what happens when a person has more than one credit-card registered
| |
| at one address in different names?).
| |
| | |
| Also, this site excludes anyone who doesn't have access to an online
| |
| address verification mechanism but I can't see a way around that
| |
| currently.
| |
| | |
| While I'd be very interested in people's thoughts about such a project
| |
| I'm really looking for people who might want to help me run with it!
| |
