Welcome to Alaveteli!

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.

Please join our mailing list at
https://groups.google.com/group/alaveteli-dev and introduce yourself.

Some documentation can be found in the doc/ folder. There's
background information and a little more documentation on
our wiki, and
hopefully we'll make our homepage more useful
in due course.
