Here is a sampling of policy recommendations created by the public during the recent Open Government Initiative dialogue
Defining Transparency53 contributors, 184 ratings, 25 versions
An informed public is essential to democracy and can help create a more effective, accountable government. Transparency is a powerful tool to demonstrate to the public that the government is spending our money wisely, that politicians are not in the pocket of lobbyists and special interest groups, that government is operating in an accountable manner, and that decisions are made to ensure the safety and protection of all Americans.Effective transparency means that the public has access to timely, accurate information in usable formats. It also means such information is easily findable, thereby allowing the public to use commercial or government search engines to sift through mountains of material.
Institutionalizing Transparency39 contributors, 117 ratings, 15 versions
When governmental checks and balances fail to prevent waste, fraud and abuse, the responsibility to call attention to a problem and, preferably, bring about a resolution often falls to federal employees. They must be empowered to prevent and report waste, fraud and abuse. Unfortunately, the Whistleblower Protection Act of 1989 is outdated and fails to protect federal employees and contractors who alert authorities to wrongdoing, adding to a culture of secrecy rather than transparency. Therefore, the president should:
Enabling Participation with New Media34 contributors, 105 ratings, 16 versions
More than 80 percent of government information is unstructured text - mostly highly technical, jargon-laden prose buried in terabytes of text, HTML and PDF documents. It is difficult for people to find the information they need to interact effectively with government, even with conventional search engine technology such as Google and Yahoo.Often the problem is information overload - the search engine provides too much specialized information without the context or organization needed to be useful. That creates a phenomenon known as search rage - a feeling of frustration resulting from too much time spent on hit-or-miss Web searching for government information.We need more specialized search technology for government information that combines traditional information retrieval with text mining to create a system that extracts and organizes focused summary knowledge in response to queries, rather than overwhelming users with a list of large, jargon-laden documents to plow through. That could be accomplished relatively easily by creating a system that processes search results using techniques such as concept/theme extraction, multidocument summarization, and hierarchical clustering or organization of concepts and themes.

Lawsuit means closer public scrutiny of St. Croix Falls dam
Closer public scrutiny of the operation of the St. Croix Falls hydroelectric dam is the result of a lawsuit filed and settled on the same day.
The lawsuit was filed on Aug. 7 by the River Alliance of Wisconsin against the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources over a new memorandum of understanding between the DNR and Xcel Energy.
The new memorandum, among other things, provides for the free flow of water through the dam.

Francis Goodwin and his 3 generations of Windsurfers
A Windsurfing video by frankybaby - 15,457 views
Here is a short 1 minute Compilation of some of Francis's best windsurfing moments caught on film for the Boards Maui Competition.
"Not only is Francis compelled to windsurf whenever there is a breath of wind, he is also passionate about getting everyone else involved too. He's often seen rigging and carrying sails and boards up and down the beach making sure that no one from his family has any excuse not to enjoy this sport..
Francis, who is now a very fit 66 years old, first introduced me to windsurfing in the early eighties. Since then Francis has been the most enthusiastic and supportive dad and granddad, passionate about getting his whole family to enjoy the sport whatever the weather. Now the whole family, Heather (his wife), me my three daughters, my wife, my sister her three children, and my 17 year old younger brother all windsurf. We all still live in and around the south Coast of England and Francis can often be found windsurfing at Pevensy, Harebrand, Eastborne, Worthing, West Wittering and Hayling Island.
Francis windsurfs throughout the year whenever it is windy, is always keen to push his skills to the limit and meet the challenge of any wind wind strength or sea state."

search has too many results
When i just logged onto tribble in the review section where the missions are, right in the middle of the list it came up with 'your search has too many results'
I have no idea if that is working as intended or not or if the limit needs to be upped. Ideally I would imagine everybody's mission should be showing, and even with filters for mission star grades as more and more people add missions that might all get filled up, cutting off some peoples missions from view even using a filter.
Either way the text is not in the best place in my opinion.
I really think that's an element of teh Foundry review system that's being neglected. The 'User Authored Content' search UI is very full featured, but the 'Review Content' search UI is VERY 'bare bones' - and given a new mission will need to get multiple reviews before it's promoted to 'User Authored Content'; it's search UIU should be equally full featured with categories that are in line with teh 'review' function. Hell, I wish we could come up with a Cryptic sponsored was to promoye missions in game, without being either overly intrusive or spammy.
Duplicate listings of identical missions need to be dealt with as well...
given how the search function for bug tickets Still does not even work at all.
it doesn't work, its not turning up false results, it isn't that we are too stupid to use it effectively, it has been tested to remove infinitive doubt to the contrary, it just does not work dammit !!!!! and has been that way since closed beta that's right I have even asked someone that has been in since before the game was even accessible to the public.
It doesn't in the least surprise me that the same will apply to any search type feature in the game.
I would guess that a "search" function needs a database that actually functions and is accessible to players and that possibly this has been determined to be a hazard for the server being subject to Player mayhem.
Just a guess...
We know about the too many results overlay issue. Thanks for reporting it. :)
