    This idea is one that would help to make goverment more accessible to the common person and allow them to better understand how our government actually works.

    Seems like a good idea. Worth a try!

  3. I agree with Axel

    Axel, my comment is not silly advertising nor is it communism. Its making citizens aware we're moving forward w/transparency. When the USG needs to collaborate, it need not be out in the open for all to see. Open Source Social Media tools have been brought into the USG as they have any big business. I opened the trail for you to look into this further based on news & other PR we have on this.

    @Immunity, your idea of "Social media behind the firewall" sounds like Freedom in communism. Do you want to advertise your "Enterprise suite of tools" here. First: this is not a good place to do silly advertising and Second: Your behind the firewall idea is EXACTLY what need to CHANGE !

    This concept is already being implemented & executed within the Federal Government with various tools behind the firewall. Its one of the things I speak about. We have an Enterprise suite of tools we are trying to educate our colleagues at all levels/agencies of Government. You can follow me on twitter to learn more about it @immunity You can also read up on "Intellipedia" & "A-Space"

    The work groups are a good idea. Give people a chance to sink their teeth into one issue they care about on a local level, but still be connected to the larger effort going on in other places.

    The problem is security and privacy of these technologies. In addition to FISMA, most agency have certain privacy laws and security policies that they need to implement to protect citizen data. It's just not easy as "let's do it." We have to look at the cost-benefit compared to the risk.

  10. Are you familiar with the National Initiative for Democracy proposal? http://ni4d.us

    I'm not sure if the CTO could help enact the National Initiative though.

    This is closely related to "open source government." See Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source_government
