Connect with Govdirectory #119

Open loleg opened 2 years ago

loleg commented 2 years ago

Came across this startup project today at Wikimania that has parallels what we have been doing here: Govdirectory is "a global user-friendly directory of government agencies and their online presence". On the topic of revitalising our efforts here (#102), connecting with them should be interesting.

Good find! I see that you have already started an issue there, but I also started a discussion, which does not necessarily have to lead to something that has to be "solved" and is more free-form.

BTW, I noticed that we do not have discussions enabled here on this repository. But if we need a forum, we could create one under the OK Labs section of the Discuss forum.

Re the forum, using discuss / Discourse sounds best to me since that's where many threads already exist: https://discuss.okfn.org/search?q=publicbodies
