Creating Law.Gov

Law.Gov: America’s Operating System, Open Source, by Carl Malamud, O’Reilly Radar (Oct 15, 2009).

Public.Resource.Org is very pleased to announce that we’re going to be working with a distinguished group of colleagues from across the country to create a solid business plan, technical specs, and enabling legislation for the federal government to create Law.Gov. We envision Law.Gov as a distributed, open source, authenticated registry and repository of all primary legal materials in the United States. More details on the effort are available on our Law.Gov page.
