ack events\, we&rsquo\;ve tackled many different thematic topics. This tim
e it is something new\, and very important: Democracy.
What do we
mean by democracy? Well\, it&rsquo\;s not party politics. Nor is it coming
with a solution\, constitutional or otherwise\, before we have articulate
d the challenges or problems.
We mean the very functioning of gove
rnment.
* How do we know who we are electing?
* How do we cont
act them\, to ask questions\, or when things go wrong?
* How can we ho
ld them to account?
* What are the various levels of government?
*
Where is the data that we need to understand\, use\, and interact with gov
ernment?
* How transparent are the workings of government?
* What
tools are available (and what can we build to fill in the gaps) to make th
is all better?
If you have never been to a hackathon before or are
interested in knowing more about the projects previously tackled then ple
ase check out our hackathon overview page.

Already we have a growing list of challenges posed which you can find
a link to on our web page &ndash\; or you can suggest your own ones.
