John O'Donovan (Principal Technical Architect, FM&T Journalism); Tom Steinberg (Director, mySociety); Jem Stone (91Èȱ¬ Social Media Group)

Today's Pic Of The Day is of yesterday's afternoon-long brainstorm with Tom Steinberg and Francis Irving of mySociety, asking what the 91Èȱ¬ could learn from their various and and what unique ingredients the Beeb can bring to complement the work done by charities and volunteers.

    What are the rights restrictions for 91Èȱ¬ Parliament? Does the 91Èȱ¬ only have 7 day rights? For Lords debates? Commons? Committees?
