1. Introduction
Welcome to the MarylandCode.org wiki!
MarylandCode.org is the first copyright restriction-free, open data publication of the Maryland Code of Public Laws delivered to citizens with all the niceities of modern web design. Before this project, Marylanders faced massive barriers - legal and technical - when trying to know the laws. (Click here to learn more about the barriers like copyright restrictions, PDFs, bad search and bad design, among others.) The OpenGov Foundation team, building off Waldo Jaquith's pathbreaking State Decoded project, demolished these barriers with MarylandCode.org by publishing the state law in a human-friendly, open XML format...with a delicious API cherry on top for your coding pleasure.
Right now, we're adding features and fixing bugs on the issues page and looking to enhance the project while deploying it to open up, remove restrictions on, and modernize the law in cities and states across America. Baltimore is being opened as we write. Click here to say hello to lead developer Chris Birk on Twitter or jump right into the project below.
