I am learning Git

I started by searching for Git books in the Safari Library - and excellent service that lets you view a huge number of Computer Books. I settled on Git Essentials. This is how it starts:

Git is, in fact, a breaking point in the history of computer science. Differently from most other versioning systems, Git builds its design on the core idea that the development activity is inherently a communication and collaboration exercise.

The same could be true of any text-based enterprise - such as writing laws, which are nothing but text, and more and more - a lot of it! This is Big Data, that the Computer can handle easily.

Writing laws this way, could involve input from many people, with many ideas of their own. All these ideas can be considered, evaluated, and then merged into one final law. While retaining all the ideas and decisions that went into its development. Nothing is thrown away, or wasted.

This is Democracy in action - where everything is transparent and open!
