So I built a proof of concept app: #-Link-Snipped-#

Basically, it lets people anonymously submit RTI requests and anonymously fund it. What do you think of this idea?

Its functional, but no real money involved.

- you can sign up/login
- submit an RTI request
- fund an RTI

The app is open source and is on Github. It's released with MIT license, so you don't have to pay me anything to build a commercial product around it.

I wrote in more detail on my blog: #-Link-Snipped-#

    No, I don't deal with Gov directly. Think of it as middle man:

    XYZ Person -> RTI Man -> Online RTI -> Government

    Being an RTI activist is very risky in India, its dangerous and many have lost their lives. RTI Man tries to protect the anonymity.
