The mission of the Metagovernment project is to support the development and use of internet tools which enable the members of any community to fully participate in the governance of that community. We are a global community of people working on various projects which further this goal. We envision a world where every person, without exception, is able to substantively participate in any governance structure in which they have an interest. We expect new forms of governance software to be adopted in small communities and to spread outward with the potential to gradually replace many institutions of representative democracy with open source governance. We envision governance which is not only more open, free, and democratic; but also which is more effective and less fallible than pre-internet forms of governance.
