Development of parliamentary online information sharing community system

Abstract

This report represents an online sharing community mainly developed for the parliament and people of Uganda. The information sharing community system gave an integrated view of different registered groups and people. The current systems used are manual where information is kept while others the discussion forum is disabled. The project was an important area for development because of the efficiency, reliability and security of the procedures within and outside the parliament. The aim of this project was to develop an online information sharing community with which users can participate after registration using their accounts and can interact with their respective members of the parliament library. This online community comes as a solution to a widening gap in communication and interaction among parliamentarians and the public that has continued to exit partially due to lack of proper and cheap means of communication and interaction. The outcome of the project was an integrated system capable of online registration, downloading publications like books uploaded by the administrator, discussion forum, and people can comment on different posts. The system can provide timely access to information
