3B: Election lessons
by Tim Green
The 2010 election was the first one where all the candidates were directly asked a set of local questions. This is the story of how we found thousands of volunteers, all the candidates and local issues. Covers the work of DemocracyClub, YourNextMP and TheyWorkForYou.

3B: Fix My Transport: coming soon from mySociety
by Louise Crow
Late this year, mySociety are planning to release FixMyTransport, a site focussed on connecting and empowering people who share transport problems of different kinds. As getting a new ticket machine in your station is an order of magnitude more difficult than getting your local council to fill a pothole, FixMyTransport will be built on top of a new back end system called Project Fosbury. Project Fosbury is about helping people get over difficult obstacles. It will be a modular platform for breaking down a complicated civic task into pieces which can then be allocated to one or more people. The aim is to place these tasks in a joined up infrastructure that will lower the barriers to achieving changes that may require multiple actions over a long period of time. There will be a single public home page for each mini campaign, showing recent activities on the site, as well as integrating with external social media. We hope to repeat the FixMyStreet phenomena where some 'insoluble' problems suddenly become soluble once they're in the public domain.
