Policy Kit is a tool for building and evolving governance in online communities. PolicyKit empowers online community members to concisely author a wide range of governance procedures and automatically carry out those procedures on their home platforms. Inspired by Nobel economist Elinor Ostrom, they've developed a framework that describes governance as a series of actions and policies, written in short programming scripts. They're now building an editor, software libraries, and connectors to platforms like Slack, Reddit, and Discord for communities to author actions and policies. See their ACM UIST 2020 paper and video to learn more. PolicyKit is still in development and will be released soon. Visit their Github to contribute.
