The
Austin Chamber of Commerce's newsletter 
featured a small story about the citiCite project yesterday.
Naturally I was thrilled to see it, but the article does explain a little bit more about what we're hoping to accomplish past being just a community forum.
The article itself reads as follows:
cityCore Launches New Website for Austin's Mueller Community
On Sunday, June 7 cityCore LLC released their newest installment of local community portal, citiCite. The project has thus far been limited to the Mueller Community (site of the former Robert Mueller Municipal Airport), but will soon be extended into hundreds of Austin neighborhoods.
citiCite is a community-based web portal designed to promote transparency and accessibility at the local government level. It provides Austin residents with mechanisms for keeping in touch with their community in real-time. After months of testing and development, the company is finally nearing its push into a much wider audience.
"We've received such positive feedback over the past two years that providing this service to all of Austin just seemed like the next logical step," founder and lead developer Kevin Ludlow comments.
Moving forward, the company hopes to not only increase their audience, but to also increase the amount of data available on the site.
Ludlow continues, "If you can imagine all city documents, land records, ordinances, meeting minutes, etc. linked together by their common elements and freely accessible by all citizens, that's effectively what we're shooting for."
