About This Site

ParticipateDB is a collaborative catalogue for online tools for participation (often referred to as tools for web-based engagement, online participation, e-participation, e-consultation, online dialogue, online deliberation etc.).

The site aims to build a comprehensive guide to the many online tools for public participation and related forms of citizen engagement -- large and small, commercial and open source, mature and experimental -- as well as the context in which they are being applied.

ParticipateDB is currently in closed alpha. Once the site is fully functional, ParticipateDB will allow anyone to register and add or edit content. Site content will be freely available and licensed for easy reuse and sharing. A beta version is set to launch in the Fall of 2009.

ParticipateDB is brought to you by Intellitics, Inc. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions. Thanks!
