Post your thoughts on opening the federal government
Some interesting efforts are afoot to brainstorm ideas for increasing transparency in the federal government. The National Academy of Public Administration is hosting a Web site where you can post your ideas on increasing government transparency (http://opengov.ideascale.com/). They are at the discussion stages now so you can start to see the main ideas emerging.
Unfortunately, a lot of folks aren't taking it seriously and are posting a flurry of political statements that have little to do with FOI issues. But it shows that the marketplace of ideas is alive and well!
