iSAYSO · Build notes

Public records. Practical tools. The next piece of iSAYSO.

· Development update

A clearer noticeboard and Viewer are live. The next step is connecting the records, replies and follow-up behind the work — and funding the people and systems needed to build it.

An OIA reply is rarely the end of a question. There are attachments to read, earlier replies to compare and unanswered points to follow up. Newsletters and public updates are the visible part of that work.

That experience is shaping iSAYSO Operations and Workbench: document review, dated timelines, draft correspondence and follow-up, with people checking sources and approving actions. These workflows are being developed and tested before wider access.

The latest site changes make the public material easier to use. News has a clearer reading layout. Viewer now has visible search and topic controls. Both share the same compact navigation and dark theme, with a route back to your dashboard.

The member dashboard and contribution routes are already available. Wider Operations and Workbench access is still being prepared. We will use these build notes to distinguish what is available, what we are testing and what remains a proposal.

Moving this forward takes development time, hosting, storage, backups and AI services. A contribution now helps pay for current operations and the next stage of development. A regular monthly amount makes that work easier to plan.

Start with the public record.

The noticeboard holds OIA correspondence, Crown reviews, newsletters and public notices. One example is the published follow-up on OIA 1745 about Oamaru parking meters. Read the source material and the questions being followed through.

The campaign funds the wider iSAYSO build and operating services. Contributions are not earmarked to this article or a particular case.

Stay with the build.

Come back for progress notes, existing projects and future proposals as they become ready to share. Public-interest articles remain on the main noticeboard.
