Compared to existing on-line democracy tools, KuneAgi differentiates itself by:

  • a collective and deliberative dimension in the drafting of texts. Instead of having isolated individuals writing proposals in parallel, these individuals cooperate in a dedicated Working Group. This Working Group mobilises fully democratic procedures to deliver a text taking into account the technical competencies, the political values and the legitimate interests of all of its participants
  • an orientation towards concrete public policy proposals, including the necessity to define priorities.

The free software called KuneAgi and being presented on this website provides the technical infrastructure to democratically define:

  • the programme of a political organisation
  • the policies of a (local, regional, national, European) public authority
  • the action plan of an association or of a trade union.

In a variant, called Nova-Ideo, it helps defining the investments of a firm, specifically in the fields of innovation, and the problems it should solve.

It networks spontaneous, temporary working groups that operate with highly structured and yet democratic procedures. It generates high quality proposals, able to concretely influence decisions. KuneAgi combines the openness of a Social Network with the structure of Electronic Document Management software. It organises collaborative work and consultation, while supporting unprecedented levels of internal democracy, and therefore of confidence in the procedures and of legitimacy of the outcomes.

KuneAgi is developed by the French free software developer Ecréall. KuneAgi is deployed by the CosmoPolitical Cooperative as the software infrastructure underpinning the definition of its public policies.

KuneAgi's main function is to produce innovative, technically valid, politically legitimate and coherent action proposals, in a democratic and co-operative way. These action proposals are ranked in priority order into an action agenda.

The exact nature of these action proposals depends upon that of the organisation using the software. It will be different if this organisation is a political organisation, a firm, a public authority or an association / an union.

KuneAgi's main features are:

  • an unprecedented level of internal democracy, at the three key steps of initiative, amendment and ranking of proposals
  • the innovativeness of the action agenda
  • the quality of the action agenda, in terms of technical validity, political legitimacy and coherence
  • the possibility to detect the best contributors, and therefore the new talents in the organisation.
