      The first step would be to compile Blender with only the Nodes Section.

      There are many growing movements in the world. Reaching out to them for support. A simple 5 min video would go a long way.

      • Tip:

        Many projects have good small tasks that can teach newcomers how the project works. Now's your chance to share one of them!

        Include URLs if relevant (we'll automatically linkify them).

      • Example:

        Someone could improve the photo upload dialog box so that it lets you resize the photo before sending it to the web.

      • Examples:

        I don't know how to get started with internationalizing my app.

        Bug 392 about printing was filed five years ago, and I don't even know if printing still works.

        I want help from a C coder writing a Maildir patch for Alpine.

      • Note:

        If this issue was formally filed on the web, be sure to include the URL.

About Open Goverment

(logo)

I believe by using two already created open-source programs a Transparent Government Protocol could be made Easy,Quickly,Cheaply,and Secure.

1) Blender (www.Blender.org): Is a free 3D Modeling/Animation Program. Within the program is a section called ["Nodes"!] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7bfXY3-bC0). Nodes is basically excel on steroids. You can visually see a pipeline or familytree of how the "connection" to each "department".

2) Crypto-Currency a.k.a Bitcoin (but Not Bitcoin): Crypto-Currencies are basically a peer-to-peer virtual banking system. It's decentralized. Kind of a Utorrent for Banking. Instead of music and videos, your transfer and receiving funds. and in certain cases mining (producing) virtual currencies.

When you add 1 + 2 = You get an open government where you can watch your government as an organism. Where the
Custom Cryptocurrency would be the blood. Making all transaction public. Where the flow started, where its flowing, how much, where it ends, with a ledger of all transaction....all in real time. You could watch each pulse.....

The Custom Crypto-Currency would be a substitute for actual dollars on a 1:1 ratio. The reason for this is if money is stolen or allocated unjustly the Custom Crypto-Currency has no value except at certain junctures in the "Family Tree" Node system. Custom Cryptocurrency could only be "cashed out" at certain points.

Also this gives the power to the Custom Cryptocurrency community. If a "gov leader" should decide to spend moneys on a project the public does not approve of they can simply not allow the transfer as online social community. the same way Bitcoin community might vote against a 50-50 attack

Side Note: Anyone could download the Goverment Template "Family Tree" and improve the "flow"
