I did something very similar for some US state level laws. "Legit" legislative git.

Useful for alerts in our concern area, and monitoring proposed legislation iteration and flow through committees to keep ahead.

I can imagine quite a few other more civic interest uses as well!

Hoping to open source some later myself, seems an area ripe for some open civic citizen/hacker projects. Bet some fun startups could be made on top too, gl.


between the microschool and ESA movements going on right now, there will likely be many publicly-funded & worker-owned schools popping up over the next few years (amongst other much stranger hybrids).

In many jurisdictions, a teacher co-op can already obtain a charter to have an "open to the public, funded by the public, and accountable to the public" charter school. If we're going to be pedantic I think that would fit your funded+governed definition. owned+operatred might be closer to what you are gesturing at though, or perhaps local democratic oversight? Regardless, the old public/parochial types of school categorization is not nearly nuanced enough to be particularly useful for where things are already, let alone soon headed.
