You could wall it Wiki law. Down in New Zealand the police have launched an online tool, or wiki, that allows the public to comment on and suggest wording for a new police act. If that seems like democracy very much in action, it is, and it’s never been done before, the police claim. They want a broad range of opinion before presenting the law to the New Zealand parliament. “Launching a wiki version of a statute is a novel move, but one we hope will yield a range of views from people interested in having a direct say on the shape of a new Policing Act," Supt. Hamish McCardle, the man in charge of the review, told BBC News. The wiki is open to all Internet users, and is part of an 18-month review period before the new act is presented sometime next year. However, when checked this morning, the wiki site was down, having been overwhelmed. Democracy is obviously popular.
