An account from a conference session describing and exploring "a new class of digital democracy tools is helping people dialogue, deliberate, and make decisions together... greater legitimacy to policymaking, build trust in governance processes, and help the public appreciate policy tradeoffs... a democracy tech stack could supercharge public participation, harnessing polarized views and experiences into unprecedented levels of collective intelligence... [see] democracy as a muscle and democracy technologies offering gymnasiums for exercising how we participate and hear each other.
Plenty of links to interesting case studies, and a good conclusion: "it is tempting to look for a single innovation or institution that might “fix” the challenges of civic life online...
