Other License: 
Package: Democratic Experience Software
System name: demexp
Type: non-GNU

Description:
The purpose of this project is to write the software to sustain the Democratic 
Experience project (in french : http://exp.dem.free.fr/). 

In short, the objective of Democratic Experience is to inject more democracy in 
our society. This is done by creating a computer system where all people, from 
all over the world, could ask questions and express their responses. People 
would vote on those answers to extract the response to a specific question. The 
whole set of responses would express the position of a group of people on 
subjects of interest. The voting method would be a variant of the Condorcet 
voting.

The objective of this Savannah project is to create the software that would 
sustain this project. That is to say, server, client and the set of needed 
database structures.

We intend to execute the server on a gnu/linux system. The client  should be 
available on both proprietary (windows, mac os) and free OS (like debian 
gnu/linux).

We haven\'t any code yet. Only specifications.


Other Software Required:
We intend to write the server in the Objective Caml language, available in the 
main section of Debian GNU/Linux.

For database support, we haven\'t made any choice yet but they are plenty of 
GPL compatible databases that would fit (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLlite, ...).

The client would probably be written in Objective Caml with a binding to the Tk 
graphic toolkit.
