Water into wine?

[Don Ferretti]

I'm working on a local government planning project that requires a public review of the planning document to get community input.  Everyone is expecting the same old process of presenting the plan then having people come to a podium or something and blah blah blah.  I don't want to do that.

There must be a way to use OS here. Has anyone used OS this way  to transform an otherwise mundane bureaucratic input process into something more.  Something where people from the general community are learning and at the same time providing input to those who must make final decisions.
