Starting on April 27, the the team behind the federal recovery website Recovery.gov will host an online forum to solicit ideas for improving the site. For one week, the site will encourage vendors, consumers, and thinkers in the information technology community to answer the following question:
What ideas, tools, and approaches can make Recovery.gov a place where all citizens can transparently monitor the expenditure and use of recovery funds?
According to a story in NextGov, critics have dismissed the forum as a “feel-good” approach that will yield few practical solutions. But supporters say the participatory approach has the potential to bring in new ideas by reaching beyond the “usual suspects.” A link to the forum will be posted on recovery.gov.
