The site, in 2004
A UK parliamentary monitoring site that republishes Hansard debates in searchable form, with a page for every MP's speeches, votes and interests.
Volunteers built it with Public Whip's software and launched it at NotCon '04; mySociety adopted it in 2006. It won a 2005 New Statesman New Media Award, and versions followed in New Zealand, Australia and Ireland.
In 2004: Launched without a licence to reproduce Hansard, since none existed; one was granted later and new licences for Parliamentary copyright followed.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
