A web site where a community can democratically write any sort of text, book of 
laws, petition, poem, novel, constitution... The principles used are a mix of 
participative and representative democracies. They are an attempts at a truely 
effective direct democracy.

A text is a tree of elements, currently: chapter, article, preference, action, 
link, message. Texts are assembled in a library.

Every person has three actions available: to propose text elements, to choose 
what elements they agree or disagree with, to delegate their choices on certain 
elements (and their sub-elements) to other persons.

Choices and delegations can be changed at anytime, delegations can be overriden 
with sub-delegations or direct choices. A delegate can himself delegate the 
choices he controls others.

Elements are weighted according to the number of agreement minus disagreement 
divided by the number of active persons in the library. This results in an 
acceptation level which can be used by any person reading texts to filter the 
displayed elements.

The specifications are handled as a text, they can be found, as a static copy, 
at http://vvv.sf.net
An active library is available on http://inthemoon.dyndns.org/vvv/ during 
parisian daytime.

The project is in Java, and requires JBoss/Tomcat/PostgreSQL...
