Realistically, this is a nice template for how the wiki should look.  Do you agree Scott?

I would leave out the Executive orders (we can create a seperate page for this, so do keep a note of them)..Also, I think it might be wise not to include amendments?  Instead we can just write a note under the law like so.

There's no hurry.. but as I said.. we should probably leave the new wiki page alone for now and just categorize the two pages of legislation we already have, as well as the law that's not even on record.  Agree, disagree?

Which page do you want to leave alone and which pages should we categorize?

http://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=138659.msg2973583#msg2973583

Starting here I have the two former pages compiled.  Unfortunately, it's been a while, so I have to make sense of my messy thinking Tongue

If you agree, compiling links into Passed, Proposed, ect and posting it here would be great.  Are you able to compile the law not included on the original two wiki legislation pages?  Probably..Late 2009-2012?  Not exactly sure of when it fell off, though I could easily look it up..

Sorry for the inconvenience, but I'd rather clear up any confusion we're both having now than create more work.

Edit:  Of course, I don't expect you to do it all by yourself, but whatever you can get done while I organize my previous work would be great..

Might want to put the links in a wiki format, when you list;

*[[Name]]

I know you already know that, but it's one of the mistakes I made previously that will cause me more work now.

This page is pretty much added to the wiki.  I worked through my notes and got the compiled lists imputed, with the exception of some notes I just took that I will have to revisit..  (And the Repealed/Proposed law, which isn't a priority for now..)

I'm glad to see that this project has swung into motion. I'll be occupied for the rest of the weekend, but I can begin assisting later this week. For now, I just want to let you guys know that I'm still here and I appreciate what you've done so far. Do let me know if there's anything that I can do as NE Governor that would help the project.

You can give us opinions, critique, ect.  Also, if/when you have time if you can look through the newly created page and just do some double checking for us (search around, make sure laws there aren't actually repealed, ect).  Of course, the SRC report is going to be extremely useful for our purpose, so I'll have to bring that link up when I find it.

Also, Scott, Nix, how does this look thus far?

Very good work.  I went through the first dozen pages of the Assembly thread or so and found bills that are already on the wiki, but apparently some are just scattered all over the place.

Very likely..  The vital civic information thread should be useful to you, and (not to toot my own horn), but so should this, and this.

Outstanding work, Cincinnatus. The layout is clean and well-organized, and I think that when we've finished we'll have a usable and easily-updated product.

I notice that the IDS page lists a number for each piece of legislation. This might be a convenient practice to introduce in the Northeast, as it's difficult to sift through an un-numbered list as you're researching past legislation or trying to find something. I might introduce a bill that requires the NE Speaker to give each piece of legislation a unique ID number.

I'll be working on this again starting Monday or Tuesday, I hope.  This will include referring to the notes I took, and double-checking some of the work I've already added to the wiki.  If anyone knows of any discrepancies, or wants to help, please let me know..

Now that there seems to be renewed interest in this project, I would like to propose an official list of priorities:

PRIORITY #1 - Consolidate our three pages of statutes down to a single page using the IDS model.

PRIORITY #2 - Update the statute page.

PRIORITY #3 - General improvements to usability & complete review of every existing page

PRIORITY #4 - Create an introduction page for the use of new citizens of the region.

Over the past two weeks, I've worked to update the statute page (although I haven't been doing it in the correct format) and review some of our current pages (I've made substantial changes and updates to the main page for the region).

I'll fix that this week.  What we need is all the legislation that is still law after the Motorcycle Safety Act (2009).  IIRC, Scott was working on this before we went dormant.
