This project aims at that improvement needs, and to develop a new solution. The new solution tries to improve the inadequacy of exiting similar solution, also attempt to bring some deeper value to the user and our community.
After the evaluation made on the final product, it can prove that the solution has been already:
- Providing a portable platform for the user to receive the freshest information of Legislative Council Motion.
- Providing a comfortable platform for the user to vent out their feelings about government policy and our society.
- Providing a free platform for users to discuss with each other.
- Providing a diversify platform for users to train their judging mind.
- Providing a democratic platform for users to publish their voices to the Legislative Council Member.
- Providing a convenient and efficient way for handling the collect and analyze work about Legislative Council Motion information.
Human always love to express their own emotion, but we are worrying about how others think of us simultaneously. The system provides a titular identity for the user to hide their real identity. We can shake off other's opinion matter, and to vent everything what we want freely and comfortably. We can communicate with others through the commenting and chatting. By going through the communication, we can think more broadly and deeply to evaluate and enhance our mind.
In fact, we were constantly receiving countless information since we were born. Knowledge, experience and mindset made we became a valuable person. Knowledge of politics is very important. Because politics decide our society further directly. We have a right to disregard on politics, but politics will not make any exception for us. It is always around our lives. This system helps user to approach politics straightly and diversify. We can build up our mind and attitude by receiving and judge the numerous information about politics.
Once we have an own ideology about politics, we may have a lot of opinion on the government policy. The system will collect the democratic voice via the Public Vote of Legislative Council Motion. Also express this voice to the Legislative Council Member. We are trying to jump out the internal pool and publish our voice to external to attempt arouse some real effect.
Although a good platform has been made, but it will be withered very soon while without a good information fountainhead. But how the “good information” defines? In this solution, we define it —— reliable, accurate and fresh. In fact, we were getting this information from the Legislative Council website like other similar solution did. But one thing differently, we past the collecting, analyzing and recording information work to computer automatic handle. We are not good at handle those complicated work. The computer can handle it faster and more accurately. This solution can ensure users will receive the freshest information, also reduce the administrator's work.
Although this solution looks like quite consummate, actually there are some limitations existing. For example, about the method of getting Legislative Council Meeting schedule, the system is using HTML Parser to handle the collection work. So once the website structure has been changed, the re-writing of method is needed.
So the solution should make some improvements in further to track the website changes, recognize the changes and then update the method of collection task automatically.
Finally, we expect this new solution can provide some positive effect to the democratic culture of our society. Everyone can express what they think. Everyone can know the importance of free will. Everyone can have an objectively ideology. We are trying to build a connection between us, also keep expanding this community as large as it can. Although we may have different philosophies, but we have a same goal —— make our Hong Kong society better.
