Obama is finally getting off the ground a grand project that should have happened a long time ago: making the federal government communicative, open, and transparent, bringing the White House into the 21st century.
That means it's time for you to pitch in! Your ideas, and your comments on other people's ideas, will be selected for comment by Obama's CIO. So read on and vote!

Here’s how the public engagement process will work. It will take place in 3 phases: Brainstorming, Discussion, and Drafting.
Beginning today, we will have a brainstorming session for suggesting ideas for the open government recommendations. You can vote on suggested ideas or add your own.
Then on June 3rd, the most compelling ideas from the brainstorming will be fleshed out on a weblog in a discussion phase. On June 15th, we will invite you to use a wiki to draft recommendations in collaborative fashion.
On the flip side, I will relate for you what happened when this site first launched so you can get an idea of who heard about the site first.
