This is genius. I love the idea of developing law as though it were a software development project. I always thought that government could greatly benefit (the people) by implementing technology- even something as simple as online voting or perhaps an official online debate forum. But the point of having legislators is to have someone represent a group of people's opinion. With the internet, they are no longer necessary as each individual can state their opinion directly. Politicians, with the use of the internet, are essentially obsolete.
