Ask not why "nobody" is doing this.
You are the "nobody"!
g0v is a decentralized civic tech community from Taiwan. We advocate transparency of information and build tech solutions for citizens to participate in public affairs from grassroots.
ABOUT
g0v aims to use technology in the interest of the public good, allowing citizens easy access to vital information and power to shape the civil society. Substituting the “o” with “0″ in gov, we want to use the Internet and digital thinking (0 & 1) to change the traditional “gov”.

It now includes Mandarin / Taiwanese / Hakka / English / French / Germany languages and information like character stroke order and pronunciation.
Open Political Contributions
In Taiwan, political contributions data is only available in paper format. To open the data, this project conducted Crowdsourcing OCR on 2637 pages of Control Yuan’s non-digitized version of political contributions data.
Total 309k entries are translated into organized data and web API within 24 hours.

Legislator Voting Guide helps citizens gain more information about what legislators did in the past with quantitative approach and visualizations.
Legislators are sorted in various charts according to their records of absence, amount of legal proposal, etc. Their campaign websites and backgrounds are also provided for cross reference.
LSL Calculator
To clarify the dispute over amendment on labor time, LSL Calculator calculates and visualizes amount of official holidays, minimum salary and maximum overtime hours per week based on different proposed modification of LSL ( Labor Standards Law ) through an unified interface.
