The way government works today is so last millenium: we register to vote, we elect people to represent us, and they govern from a centralized bureaucracy. Can we improve on this, esp. given modern technology?
Specifically, can we apply the "open-source" model that’s increasingly popular now in technology (Linux, Wikipedia, etc.)? If so, what would that look like? And what are the main challenges, other than massive switching costs or disruption as we migrate/updgrade from one system to another?…

I want to install Jawaws for my PC in which i’m using Linux (Fedora) OS
All the websites points to a file called "jre-6u21-linux-i586-rpm.bin" which should be run to complete the installation.
I downloaded the file and then right click on it–> open with other application –> Software installer
But it says that No packages or installer
What to do??
I don’t want wikipedia’s link about Fedora. I want to install that software… That’s it

This answer was given two years ago.
Open Source Software means. The source code will be available for the end-user to modify
according to his/her requirements.
The Best known open-source is Linux. The source code is freely available on net. You can
modify it after downloading.
Its not only linux but u can find many open source i will provide u the list….
List of open source software packages

However, the answer leads to further questions.
Since you provide the source to your customers does this imply that you are unable to create and
.exe executable module? Or do you provide both an executable module AND the source?
Does the customer run the program interpretively, or do they then compile it with their own
compiler?

Because wikipedia is open source, I can modify anything I want. But what happens if someone deletes, adds bad content, modifies useful content ? What does wikipedia do to prevent that ?
The last question is available for any other open source software: linux, php etc. How do they know which contribution is useful and which is harmful ?
Thank you.
