Hello Katja,
I am looking for studies of online public consultation processes, either in the context of e-democracy or in commercial contexts.
Furthermore, are you aware of free/open source systems for that purposes?
On the e-democracy side, there is Votorola. It's only a prototype. http://zelea.com/project/votorola/home.html There are many others. I plan to compile a list of those that include a strong facility of voting, or opinion expression. I'll post a link in a week or two, in case it's helpful. -- Michael Allan Toronto, +1 416-699-9528 http://zelea.com/ Katja Mayer said:

I will collect your answers and make them available to the list asap.
Thank you very much for your help!

PS: A short remark to my last question: I still owe the list a collection of replies to the question of the terminology origins and usage of "informatisation" and I am still working on this, since there has been opening up a whole universe of literature that I was not aware of.... (e.g. teleworking in the 1980s.....)...
