Edit: LegesWiki
Markdown Content:
= LegesWiki = '''Lēgēswiki''' is a portmanteau combining ''lēgēs'', the Latin plural of ''lēx'' (“law”), with ''wiki'', derived from the Hawaiian word ''wikiwiki'', meaning “quick.” The name reflects the project’s purpose: a fast, structured knowledge base for documenting, tracking, and contextualizing legislation. The use of ''wiki'' also references the collaborative hypertext model popularized by Wikipedia, while ''lēgēs'' emphasizes the focus on statutory law, bills, and the legislative process. == Project history == The original version of this project was maintained during the 2024 and 2025 legislative sessions using GitHub’s built-in wiki feature. While functional, that approach relied on a third-party platform with limited customization and structure. This independent version of '''LēgēsWiki''' was developed to replace the earlier GitHub-hosted wiki, allowing for greater control over organization, presentation, and long-term maintenance. The new system is designed specifically to support the ongoing legislative tracking and documentation needs of an elected representative and their staff.
