easy FOIA requests for any jurisdiction
Provide a Freedom of Information request system for your jurisdiction
Nothing special found.
This is an open source project to create a standard, internationalised
platform for making Freedom of Information (FOI) requests in different
countries around the world. The software started off life as
WhatDoTheyKnow, a website produced by
mySociety for making FOI requests in the UK.
We hope that by joining forces between teams across the world, we can
all work together on producing the best possible software, and help
move towards a world where governments approach transparency as the
norm, rather than the exception.

symlink with a target of .ruby-version.example
to switch to that automatically in the project directory.
