Koumbit invests $1000 to launch the Gnuvernment project

While we have yet to even decide on a final name for the voting.gnuvernment.org project, Koumbit.org recently decided to invest $1000 towards getting it off the ground. Clearly this is just a drop in the bucket for a project with such a wide scope, but it is a good beginning.

Discussions around the nature and functioning of such a tool continue, and the list of specifications is growing fast. The idea of this investment is to get some working code out the door and to elaborate a detailed plan for its future development. The will allow us to gain considerable practical experience with a prototype and to make this available to the community at large for feedback and assistance. This will, in turn, provide a framework upon which we can then seek funding for further development.

Sure, we at still at the preliminary stages, but the pieces are starting to fall into place.
