My notes on what I liked about the post, from the announcement:
A remarkable project and a remarkable writeup. There were many things I appreciated about this piece, including:
The use of photos and other visual aids
Links to original sources (e.g. meeting minutes, government websites)
Suggested projects for people who want to replicate the ballot initiative elsewhere
A collection of media coverage so that readers (at least those who speak German) could see how non-EA sources viewed the initiative
While this post provides an interesting history of the Zurich initiative, I’m more excited by the way it hints at being a “recipe” for this form of EA success: I can imagine many other such initiatives passing in the next decade.
This post was awarded an EA Forum Prize; see the prize announcement for more details.
