Democratizing public policy: it's not just for the wonks

What would happen if a community of curious citizens created a fun way to learn about the full range of perspectives on public policy issues? Is there a way for a community to present public policy views succinctly, accurately, and in an interesting way? I'm a bit surprised there aren't any websites that do this already...

As an MPA student at the Evans School of Public Affairs, I am researching the need for and feasibility of creating a website that tries to democratize public policy issues. If such a website is both needed and feasible, then what are some characteristics that would make it successful?

In the coming days, starting with this summer's independent research, I hope to document what I learn - from other others' experiences, ideas, and (sadly) textbooks/articles.
