La France en Débat: an open-source platform for peaceful, source-based public debate
We’re opening the code of La France en Débat, a civic platform where citizens debate, propose measures and track official commitments, with strict moderation (no insults, threats or hate) and public ranking algorithms.
Stack: Symfony 6.4 / PHP 8.2 / Bootstrap 5.
License: AGPL-3.0 (anyone can use and modify it; modified versions run as a service must stay open).
Everything is documented: architecture, algorithms, data retention.
We’re looking for help with: moderation tooling, accessibility, translations, tests, and documentation. Good first issues are labeled.
