All the code for NationBuilder/White House 2 is now available via an MIT License at github. It is written in Ruby on Rails 2.2.2 and still in very active development. Installation instructions are in the README file, feel free to fork it and send me your pull requests.

NationBuilder is a radical and fun new way to run your country, state, city, neighborhood, corporation or non-profit completely democratically with thousands of people over the internet. This started life as White House 2, and I will be launching a web service version of this in mid-June that will make forming your own government as technically easy as setting up a Blogger blog or a Ning social network.

Unless you are quite technically adept, I don’t suggest you try to get this running yourself, the web service version is what you’ll want to use. Soon I will be setting up I’ve set up NationBuilder the software to run NationBuilder the company so people all over the world can get involved.
