==== Description: ====
OCAx is a web application written in PHP/MySQL using the Yii framework. It is
designed as a citizens' audit tool. It is already being used to audit local
town council administrations but could also be used to audit and observe any
public administration.
For example, a group of people from any town can use OCAx to visualize
municipal budgets and promote the investigation (audit) of the council by all
townspeople via enquiries and replies in a transparent fashion.
OCAx is focused on empowering citizens. We understand that a citizens' audit
creates a collective knowledge that belongs to the people and we are building
software to help people to make grow and maintain that knowledge over the
years.
Unlike other software we've been able to find, OCAx marries budgets,
suplementary budget information, and enquiries (with their corresponding
replies) publicly.

==== Other Software Required: ====
Yii framework BSD http://www.yiiframework.com/license/
jQuery MIT https://jquery.org/license/



==== Other Comments: ====
The current version is 1.1.4 and we are about to release version 1.2.0.
Further release on this branch will be bugs fixes.

I lied in the checkboxes above. The current version tarball does not include a
copy of the license. This will be included in 1.2.0 (hopefully released in the
next month).

We hope that sometime we'll begin work on the version 2.0 which needs to be a
rewrite and we'll be considering perhaps python or something else.

Thanks for considering this project. If it is rejected, hopefully we can make
changes so to be accepted.

Chris.
