Abgeordnetenwatch http://drupal.org/node/3024205

On abgeordnetenwatch.de (which translates as “member of parliament watch”) users find a blog, petitions and short profiles of their representatives in the federal parliament as well as on the state and EU level. Every citizen can publicly ask questions which are then answered by the elected officials or current candidates. On our blog, we publish articles about lobbying, transparency and similar topics and we initiate petitions to implement more transparency and civic participation.

For our web plattform we currently use Drupal 7 as a CMS. Our plan is to upgrade to Drupal 8 by the end of this year. During this change to Drupal 8 we will contribute most of our custom modules on drupal.org to support other initiatives for more transparency and participation.
