Abstract
Governmental public policies – from health, crime and environment to trade, food, drugs, technology, and employment – affect almost all aspects of life in a society. However, the ability of individuals to make a meaningful impact on these policies is usually meager. Wikis may help to initiate a new chapter in this domain. My presentation demonstrates how to harness wikis to promote productive collaborative practices between individuals and policymakers in a variety of fields.
