borgar | 13 years ago | on: NVD3.js: re-usable charts for d3.js

I have implemented IE support for Protovis, D3's predecessor (https://github.com/DataMarket/protovis-msie). I have also examined doing similar things for D3 but decided it is a dead end. D3 could be patched to work with VML just as it does with SVG but it would mean maintaining all chart drivers in duplicate.

borgar | 15 years ago | on: Iceland Pursues a User-Generated Constitution

The news (especially the headlines) are somewhat is misleading on this story. The constitution if Iceland is not being "user generated". It is being written by a council of elected representatives.

The process is broadcast and updated realtime online and there there is a discussion/comments system where the council members are active. But this isn't "crowd-sourcing" in the way Wikipedia is.
