At the 2015 Open Data Day a proposal for a new vision for the approach
|
||
and architecture of OpenSpending was approved. It opens up an exciting
|
||
opportunity for open budget initiatives around the world to work more
|
||
closely together, whilst remaining independent. In a nutshell:
|
||
|
||
> We want to centralize data but decentralize 'presentation' (views).
|
||
|
||
What does this mean? It means an OpenSpending ecosystem of smaller
|
||
pieces, more loosely joined. It means an OpenSpending to which it is
|
||
easier to contribute, in which it is easier to connect your solution
|
||
to the global budget data initiative. It means an OpenSpending that is
|
||
easier to improve; instead of one monolithic codebase that nobody
|
||
wants to touch, it means smaller , more accessible projects that we
|
||
hope will inspire your participation. In short, it’s an empowering of
|
||
the awesome OpenSpending community which lies at the heart of
|
||
everything we do.

|

thanks to Tryggvi and Rufus for working so hard on this. Now over to
|
||
you! What do you think? We’d love to hear your thoughts.
